Happy Thanksgiving....



Oh Christmas Tree..

We have been here in California since September, I was anticipating that the remainder of our belongings that didn't make the truck in our move to be shipped here in time for Christmas. Not that I care about " Stuff", actually I can see already I am not even missing much of it, except that our Christmas Tree and ALL our decorations and ornaments didn't make it. My children look forward to every year reminiscing the years of ornaments given to them each year from family and decorating the tree with them. I am sad to say... it will not make it for Christmas.

Since we aren't going to have our tree my mom brought over a tree. I took one look at the little dinky thing and the first thing that popped out my my mouth was

"Oh my, it's a Charlie Brown tree !"

She brought her ornaments and a few new ones for the kids. As I decorated the pathetic little thing, I had to be realllly careful that it wouldn't tip over since some of the ornaments were wayyyy too heavy for the little thing .

Well, in the end it turned out pretty cute. This will be my first Charlie Brown Tree since I was a kid in the 70's-80's. I guess it's not as bad as Charlie Browns looked.

Then I started to think it's really not all about a tree anyway. I am thankful from the bottom of my heart to be here... with my husband and kids. I am thankful for what God has done for me. I am thankful to even have a tree.

Even Charlie Brown was thankful for his little tree !
