The-I’m-grateful-weekends-Post…..

I am grateful that B’s boulder babies were safely lifted by a ginormous crane over our house, not dropped on our house and placed in his waterfall.
Later that night:
I’m grateful there were fast acting neighbors to help pull three teens out of a car that had rolled at very high speed, saving their lives before it burst into flames and exploded right behind our house.
I’m grateful for all of the love that has been shown by humanity for the grief stricken parents of the two teens that were thrown from the car and killed instantly, their friends and the neighbors who were there to help.
I’m grateful for the perspective I gain through the awful/beautiful/heartbreaking/incredible sobering moments. 
Thanksgiving Weekend
I am grateful for the dazzlingness (I think that should be a word) of the place we live.
I’m grateful beyond words for these people!! (this list is definitely not in priority order) – and that even though there wasn’t enough snow to ski this year, they made it outside to enjoy the snow. 
I’m grateful beyond words for these girls!! – two of which traveled from afar to be here! and that they helped me cook while listening to Christmas music.
I am grateful for a holiday that allows me to set a beautiful table, eat good food, laugh with family (Jeff, Christina, Landon & Wyatt too) and force everyone to tell everyone else what they are grateful for.
I am grateful for the best tasting turkey and rolls we’ve EVER made for Thanksgiving – it only took us 25ish years to figure it out. (and maybe we won’t be able to repeat it)
I’m grateful Master D and the twins did all of the grocery shopping for the meal and that we figured out that they forgot the turkey an hour before the store closed.
I’m grateful Lelu and Ari helped me this year to make pies and rolls (Lelu might have been the key to the exceptional yumminess) after a long day at school (for me only).
I’m grateful for ending the evening with laughing, talking and eating pie with extended family and hearing about Becca’s colonoscopy at Gma and Gpa’s house.
I’m grateful for playing fun games like QuipLash and learning just how clever and inappropriate everyone really is (post title is a new inside joke)
I’m grateful for gratitude.
