Gratitude Challenge Day 24

We all love to play games at our house. Every year at Thanksgiving my dad & step mom come out for Thanksgiving and we have traditions we do every year. We play games, go bowling and just hang out for three days. One tradition my kids have kept going is having Papaw Larry bring out Big Red in a can. For a long time we could not buy Big Red here in NE. Now we can buy it in the 2 liter bottle so I told my dad he didn't have to bring it any more since we could get it here. A couple weeks ago Alaina asked my why Papaw Larry didn't bring Big Red in cans to her any more. I explained to her that we could buy it here & she said it just isn't the same in a bottle it has to be from a can. So Papaw Larry wanted to please his 5 year old granddaughter and brought her Big Red in a can. I guess some traditions will never be broken & I am very thankful for that.

Not that he brought her something, but that he thought of everyone like that. It was a tradition.; November 24, 2010 at 4:02 PM
