It's obviously about her mum as she sings "daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world", meaning that the 'you' she refers to throughout the song must be her mum. She's basically saying thank you to her mum for being there for her and giving her a wonderful childhood. However, she doesn't forget her dad ("I have an excellent father...") or her brother ("God shines on my little brother...") but I think that the song is mostly about her mum.

This song is about how she's reflecting on her childhood memories to the pumpkin patch, tractor rides, playing princess, and laughing with no cares and worries. She thinks her parents have no fears and wonders why all the trees leaves change colors. During her childhood years, she's innocent and believes in magic and princesses. While she grows up her mid-teenage years, when she's had a bad day and she can come home where she feels secure in her mom or dad's arms. At least when you go back home, you'll be welcomed in loving arms filled with security. She and her parents take her into town, to get her mind off of things, and just have a good time. She doesnt know when she'll feel okay when she's away from home, but when she gets in the car with one of her family members, everything is okay when she spends time with them. She describes her father as a good father figure, and he encourages her to be stronger mentally and emotionally. She says her brother is a good man, who God is proud of also. She said she grew up with everything she needed, a pretty house, space to run, and that's just enough for her to be happy. Eventually, she learns why the tree changes color, and realizes, she's not perfect and even when she was wrong, her dad or mom never was critical against her. She's grateful for everything that her parents have done for her and giving her the opportunity to live out her dream.

It's her Christmas gift for her mom. :) It's about her childhood.
