I am thankful for…. | monticello, mn kids photography | Monticello photographer, Buffalo photographer

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had big plans to write a ‘what I am thankful for’ post, complete with nice shout-outs to God and my family…but then I went on facebook on Thursday morning, and everyone already said what I was going to say…only a lot less tacky than I would have said it. So I just shut the computer off and spent the day with my family. My dad decided that we should start a new Thanksgiving day tradition and go around the table and say what we are thankful for (I KNOW this is not a new concept….but the Blythe/Klatt families are not known for keeping up with the times). My mom said, “I’ll start!”. We all waited to see what great thing she was thankful for….”wine!” she said enthusiastically. She thought we were going for funny, not meaningful…so then my son Riley goes after her and says, “God and Jesus”, which just made the ‘wine’ comment seem that much funnier. Dang kids putting us in our place. I said I was thankful for my studio. Which I am…sooooooooo very thankful. And for our new van. I’ve been very spoiled this year. Sometimes I forget….thank goodness I have Korey around to remind me of how blessed I am: Thanksgiving day afternoon, we were lounging on the couch reading the store ads for black friday. I said, “I really want this kindle, it’s only $79!” To which Korey responded, “new van”. About 1/2 an hour later, I noticed a really awesome looking north face jacket in the cabella’s ad….Kor said, “new studio”. Okay, so no presents for me this Christmas. Thanks honey for keeping it real. Also, I’d like to thank Korey for his total commitment to our family pictures we took this weekend for our holiday card. Some husbands would have left their wives for less. I can’t wait to show you guys!

But let’s jump back to summer, oh man, I need to get rolling on this blog, sorry it’s so slow!
