Give thanks with a grateful heart.

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving!

We helped out with the Meals on Wheels on Thanksgiving Day. Usually, we'd go to one of Michael's aunt's on that day (about an hour and a half away), but this year, I wanted to try the MOW. The kids had drawn pictures for the Senior Citizens, and I was going to take my camera to take pics, but Michael heard from some police officers that some people like to rob the MOW volunteers. They'll stand outside a Senior Citizen's place of residence waiting for the food to be delivered. Stealing from the elderly. How sad is that? We only had to deliver food (which wasn't much) to 5 women who lived in a high-rise that was surprisingly located only about 5 minutes away from where we live! I enjoyed it, and so did everyone else. I think we'll do it again next year. Michael had already started cooking a turkey (among other things) that morning, and so by the time we got home, it was almost time for us to eat. So we still had a delicious Thanksgiving meal. We pretty much rested the rest of the day and weekend...although, I did have to work (from home) on Black Friday.

We've already bought most of Alex and Andrew's Christmas gifts. I haven't got anything for Lucas yet, but he'll be happy with anything. He really LOVES Hannah Montana lately. Everytime he sees her on the Disney Channel, he stops whatever he's doing and stares or starts dancing and singing along with her. He calls her "Hantana." I videotaped him saying Hantana; if I can figure out how to attach the video, I will.

One of the local radio stations Mix 92.9 is doing this Angels on the Air thing where you can call and "adopt" an angel from the Salvation Army's angel tree. Alex and Andrew heard it and said they wanted to adopt an angel, so I called and Alex will be getting gifts for a 3-year-old girl, and Andrew will get gifts for a 4-year-old boy. They're so sweet to be so thoughtful. :)
