A Thanksgiving we will always remember

Our Thanksgiving started out slow and easy.  Watching the parade, kids playing upstairs and Franklin cooking eggs and sausage for breakfast.  We got dresses, took videos of what we were thankful for and I was reflecting on how grateful I was, but also how hard of a day it is for some like Randi and the girls, etc.   We said how we were grateful for our family, friends, toys, house, but we forgot to mention one very important one- our health.

We went to Meme and Grandpa's and played outside while waiting on the Vaught's to arrive and to go inside for lunch.  The Vaught's came and the excitment rose.  Nora was trying to "jump over Robbie's back" and something happened- she said she got tripped up on his leg and she went down hard.   She was quiet but not getting up and we knew something was wrong, but weren't prepared to see her arm with a big sway in the forearm.  Mammers said, we have a broken arm and Franklin scooped her up and the three of us went to the ER in town.  It was a long, scary afternoon, but we were seen quickly and she was taken well care of.  It was a bad break, worse that last year's and the Orthopedic came in and they had to sedate her to reset it.  She was beyond tough and brave and our hearts broke right with her arm.  BUT, she has a positive attitude, and we have lots to be thankful for.  So we ended Thanksgiving day, pretty shaken up, but still Thankful.  Just even more thankful than we even knew to be in the beginning.
