A Different Kind of Thanksgiving

Well, our Thanksgiving was a little different this year. Mom was sick today so she and Daddy didn't get to join us for the meal. Actually we were supposed to eat at their house, so we had to shift gears this morning. Mom had cooked the "big stuff" (the turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, and the yummiest coconut cake you've ever tasted!), so we went and picked up all the food and brought it to Frank's mothers and had to eat without them. I felt so bad that they didn't get to join us, but I guess better safe than sorry. But I do want to thank them for preparing all the yummy food for us to enjoy.

And Conner wasn't with us today either, at least not until later. We had a group from church that went and served at the Salvation Army's Soup Kitchen for Unity in the Community, and he decided he wanted to go with them. I was very proud of him for giving up some of his day to help someone else out. It was definitely something he had never experienced before and I am proud of him.

My First Thanksgiving

I got to eat "real" food today too--

I never win anything!! But I won a $25 Gift Certificate from Arbonne this past weekend. This contest was sponsored through Fun and Frugal a great website that I visit daily. Gloria from Fun and Frugal is having two contests every day until December 12. Some of the contests are sponsored by local vendors, but many of them have websites that you can order from, so be sure to go on over to Fun and Frugal to check out her contests and all the other "frugal" fun from Gloria!!
