Thankful Thursday December 4, 2025, and our Thanksgiving table 2025

For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

1 Timothy 4:4 NV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you all well, and

excitedly decorating for Christmas.

I am way behind, as far as decorations

go, but I am determined to not let it

frustrate me.  Cause I love doing it, but

this year with my back issues it is 

a very slow process for sure, and may

 not all get done, but if not, 

we will live...............lol

Pictures today are of our Thanksgiving

 table this year. It all started with these cute

 napkins I found at Target. It was a bit

more simple this year..........

but festive all the same.

So on with my Thankfuls...

 #1

Thankful that our Daughters sister-in-love

and baby are doing well.  She had some

complications and instead of a Christmas

baby she got a Thanksgiving baby.

Thankfully baby was almost 5 pds. so

she is in Nicu ward, but I would think

 able to come home fairly soon.

Note: Mom and Baby are home now

and doing fine.

#2

Thankful that we had such a fun and

lovely Thanksgiving, great times, great

loved ones, and great memories. Always

great being with family.

#3

Thankful that our Daughter is going

to come on Wed. for a few days and

then at Christmas too.  We are very

excited since it has been 4 mos. since

we have seen her, and we were supposed

to go visit, when my back problems started.

#4

Thankful we got all our Fall Decor down

and packed and put away on Friday.

#5

Thankful that we did get the Christmas

things down today (Sat), and I put out 

a few things mostly pillows, and have

 located the Christmas balls just in case 

I can get lil darling to decorate our tree

 for us. Had to stop cause I was feeling

 like I was getting sciatica pain, so gotta

lay low, so hoping tomorrow will be

better. Have been quite busy this week,

so it has finally caught up to me.  

Oh Nooooooooooo!!   lol

     Also had these cute lil scrapbooking pcs., 

 that just happened to match with the napkins.

#6 and 7

Thankful I was feeling better and was

able to go to church today, it was all

gussied up for Christmas, and looked 

fantastic, as we have some very talented

decorators. Thankful that afterwards

we went to return some pants we got

for lil darling that were too big, cause

 we somehow got the wrong size. So

while at TJ Maxx, we did a lil more

Christmas shopping for lil darling,

so just about finished

Then ran to Sam's to buy the meat for

Christmas Dinner and found a few

other things for different people,  so

it was nice to get all that done before

Dec. 1st, which is tomorrow!!  YAY

#8

Thankful for a nice leisurely dinner

at Carrabba's afterwards cause we

were starving and tired, cause we had 

not had lunch and it almost 4 PM.

and food of course, taste really good

when you are really hungry.

#9

Thankful that we ran into our sweet

neighbors across the street at Sam's

and talked awhile, then thankful we

had a young man we have had a few

times before as our server,  he is such

a sweet kid and truly a delight, and

he is a great server and communicator.

He is always a blessing, and so are

our neighbors........

#10

Incredibly Thankful for lil darling,

she came over to do school and on

breaks she decorated our Christmas

tree, and helped with other things

as well.........it was so helpful, as I am

really having to take at easy because

I sort of overdid over Thanksgiving.

She is just such a priceless treasure,

This is the first time in a long time

or maybe never that our tree was

not only up,  but decorated!!

So I am over the moon grateful....

#11

Thankful our Daughter made it in

safe and sound. on Wednesday. Its,

 Been wonderful having her here, 

for a few days, as always.

#12

Thankful that the next day we were able

 to go to dinner with our Son and lil darling,

and then go over to their house to see

their Christmas decorations.  They did

a great job as always,  Lovely.

Note:  Also back to chiropractor

as well earlier.

Thankful for the surprise trip from our

Daughter, and for the lovely time we
