Hi Ellie,
Happy Thanksgiving!
You have a very privileged life, my love, and I don’t ever want you to
take that for granted. Appreciate
what you have and keep in mind those who are less fortunate.
Life Lessoned Learned
#39: Always remember to give thanks.
Even though we acknowledge what we are thankful for in our
daily nighttime prayers, I wanted to spend some more time with you making a big

16. Soft
Pants
17. Our
couch
18. Flowers

I love how you think Ellie. Even the smallest treasures don’t go unnoticed by you, my observant
girl. And I particularly adore
your #1… you already understand that relationships are one of the most
important things in this world! Enjoy
this wonderful holiday and be grateful everyday for your blessings.
I thank God everyday for you, your brother Will, and of
course Kyle too.
Love you,
Mom
