Grateful for...

I know I missed my October gratitude post, and I'm a little late getting November's out (obviously), but I decided to change it up a little big this month. Since the whole theme of November is to 'Give thanks' I am going to focus on one thing everyday that I am grateful for. Some may be funny or obvious things, some maybe personal, some could be spiritual, or just plain light-hearted. I hope that I can reflect back on all the posts this month when my spirits are down and realize just how many things I have to be grateful for.

So I'm going to start off the month with Elison. There was so much attention on Traeden with his baseball and football, that she kind of got neglected. She was so excited when she started preschool and dance again. She'd cry on the days that Traeden would go off to school and she wouldn't have it, or she'd cry when I'd drop Trae off at football and she had nowhere to go. I was honestly excited for dance too. She loves it and I love that she loves it. I love her school too. They haven't done recitals around Christmas in the past. They do a Halloween recital and an end of year recital. The Halloween one is so cute. It's mostly all the younger kids and they get to dress up in all kinds of fun costumes with funky make-up. They all have a ball. Plus there isn't the stress and rush with the holidays, so it's really nice for me. This year Elison was a scarecrow and danced to a song from The Wizard of Oz.

It was really cute. The recording is pretty crappy but it gives you the general idea of what she's been practicing for the last couple of months. Here is the video:
