Being Thankful (again)

Emily was talking about a Thanksgiving card she had to give the family on Thanksgiving. I forgot about it and Emily remembered on Thanksgiving day while we were in Zanesville. She was quite upset that she couldn't give her card to the family because she had made it all by herself.

We got home late on Thanksgiving and didn't have a chance to remember the card and Emily finally remembered on Friday evening when we were sitting down to dinner and she ran upstairs and got it. It was cute ... had a hand print on the front that was made to look like a turkey and a lovely poem inside about how much she loves us.

We all gushed about it and told her how much we loved the card and what a great job she did on it. She accepted her praise and we continued dinner. As I was cleaning up, I happened to turn the card over and noticed a date written in my handwriting ... it said 11/2007. It took me a second to figure it out, but it appeared as if she has gone into her keepsake box and grabbed the card she made in kindergarten and re-gave it to us for Thanksgiving this year.

The ultimate in recycling.
