Month of Thanks Days 11, 12, and 13 (Hey, No One's Perfect!)

Well, I've missed a couple of days of posting so I'll be doing a little catch up today!

Day 11

Friday was Veteran's Day.  
I am so thankful for the thousands of men and women who serve our country so valiantly and unselfishly so that my family and I can enjoy the freedoms we have here in the U.S.A.!

At school on Friday, we had an assembly honoring some of the Veterans.
The children introduced their family members or friends that have served our country.
Our school choir and the second graders sang songs of thanks.
We even had a 93-year-old World War II veteran speak to us with is pretty cool since we don't have many of them still alive now. 
Max wanted to honor his great grandfather.
Grammy and Papa came and they brought Grandpa's top to his uniform and a sailor hat for him to wear for his presentation.
I think Grandpa would be proud!


Day 12

I'm thankful for a clean (for the most part) and organized (for the most part) house.

We spent the day cleaning the yard, garage and house and getting furniture moved from bedroom to bedroom.  After getting things all cleaned up and the Thanksgiving decorations up, my house isn't so bad.
I know I complain a lot about my house, but actually, I'm extremely thankful for it.


Day 13

Today, I'm thankful for a church building that we can go and worship in peace.
I know there are many in the world that don't have this blessing and I am grateful that I can go every Sunday, safely, to church.
