Thankful Month!

  Ok so every November I go through the same things..... I get so overwhelmed and BUSY! This month is by far the busiest month of my whole year well and December, I have the girls Birthday and planning and preparing there party is always alot of work, Then there is Thanksgiving and having 2 families to try and see, we do switch off every other year so that makes it nicer but we do still try to see both which makes it a long and very tiring holiday sometimes I wish the holidays were just more relaxing :) But I cant complain since we have family to celebrate with. 
                              And then I get stressed out because I am always trying to get Christmas shopping done this month as well, and Yes I am one of those people who love the after Thanksgiving day sales, I wake up and leave around 5 am and make a day of it. And it always stresses me out also because of all the people and crowds which I hate..... But yet year after year I still end up going, and every year I swear I will have all my shopping done by October and then relax the last 2 months of the year but that NEVER happens... So as I was sitting down today for the little time I had to sit, I was thinking about all the things I had to get done and then it dawned on me I really should be focused this month on things I am Thankful for Right?
   I mean that is why we celebrate Thanksgiving after all and I really dont think about all that I have to be thankful for as much as I should and that it shouldnt be just This time of the year we think about that. This whole Holiday season we should try and have the holiday spirits in our homes and hearts. 
    I love this time of the year and I just would like to take a minute to say that I am so extremly Thankful for my family all of them My Husband Kids, My sister and in laws and especially my Mom and Dad they are the best and they do so much for me and are always so supportive and I know they would do just about anything for me and my Family, And My kids just love them so much. So I guess my challenge to all of you and myself is to everyday this season stop and think about all that you and I have to be Thankful for and really what this season is all about...

I hate going shopping the day after thanksgiving, but you can't beat the deals! I've wanted to start christmas shopping but I know everything will be cheaper then.

I love shopping the day after Thanksgiving. I love the crowds too. It is a hoot watching people in such a mad rush. I can say it is one of my favorite days of the year!

I am going private on my blog so please email me your email address to jeffmindi801@msn.com.

Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy shopping:)

Cute! I did something similar on my blog! We are so much alike! I miss you! I also go shopping the day after Thanksgiving and Brody thinks its weird because I hate crowds and people, but the deals are just too good to pass up!

Thanks for the reminder! You are such an awesome person. I hope you are able to relax and enjoy the holidays and your family. I haven't decide if I'm gonna do the after thanksgiving shopping. I always end up spending soooo much money just cause everything is a good deal. =) We'll be in Utah then too. Maybe we can get together.
