Sean and I do not have our children for Thanksgiving this year. Since it is Sean’s favorite holiday, we decided to have a Thanksgiving dinner early with our kids. We will still be spending the real holiday with friends and family so yesterday’s dinner was a bonus for us all. It also gave us an extra day to focus on being thankful.
Here are a few things I was thankful for on Fake Thanksgiving:
- The mutual friend who took a chance playing matchmaker by introducing me to Sean.
- Our five wonderful children and a bonus young woman who is dating Sean’s oldest son.
- Having my mother finally meet this special man in my life.
- Gluten-free pumpkin pie.
What are you thankful for today?
I’m thankful for my amazing kids. I’m thankful for loving friends in my life. I’m thankful for a new relationship with a brilliant woman who enriches my life every day. I’m thankful for the delicious meals I get to cook or help cook with my girlfriend. I’m thankful for Thanksgivings, whether they’re called fake or not. Thanks Kelly for this post!
I am so thankful for you too, Sean. What a lucky gal I am. 🙂
As always, my kids
They bring so much to our lives, don’t they? Joy, wisdom, a new perspective.
I am moving towards a blended family with five kids. You give me hope that it can work.
Oh, that’s wonderful news Matthew! Best of luck as you work towards blending a new family. Sean and I are blessed with kids who genuinely like each other as well as the new adult in their lives. We are a happy “family.”
