24 Days of Thanksgiving - Day 12

I'm thankful for our parents

my parents

Chris parents (and his brother)

I am so grateful that both of our parents live so close and that our kids are able to get to know their grandparents so well.  Both Chris and I grew up far away from our grandparents, so it is special that our kids get to see their grandparents so often. 

Our parents are so helpful to us, whether it's helping with house projects, being our "tech support" (as my dad does quite often when our computer isn't working right) or babysitting.  Do you know we haven't ever paid for a babysitter?  Ya, I know we're spoiled!  I know we rely on our parents a lot and I am so grateful that tehy are so loving and generous to us.

I am also grateful that our parents are Christians and that they raised us in Christian homes.  Chris and I know how lucky we are to have had that kind of upbringing, it has made us who we are today.
