Thanksgiving

We are so thankful for so many people and things this year.  Right now we’re thankful for a wonderful trip to PA.  Instead of narrating our trip, I’ll just tell a funny story instead.  Peter is learning all about Christmas in school and at home right now.  So yesterday this is the conversation I had with him while eating lunch -

Peter: It’s almost Christmas time mommy.

Me: Yes it is.

Peter: Will we have snow at christmas?

Me: I don’t know.  I guess God decides that so we’ll have to wait and see.

Peter: I think we will cause I called him on my Elmo phone and told him I want snow at christmas.

Me: Ok then.

 

I hope that provides some comic relief to your day.  Next time you need something from God, just pick up your Elmo phone and have a little faith :)
