WE ARE THANKFUL 2009

Every Thanksgiving we talk about all of our many blessings-we feel fortunate that our list could go on forever! This year our list was created on the drive to Rapid City where we would spend Thanksgiving with some of our very best friends. Here it is, in no particular order due to the fact that I was writing on an old receipt in the dark of the night.....

We Are Thankful For....

our little family
blue blankie
people that don't put up Christmas lights before thanksgiving
when my kids always agree with me
holidays "they make me feel good"
the scriptures and the Ensign
Good righteous people like Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost
my friends
Logan Stephens
Kindergarten class
Joseph Smith
pheasants
No one is sick (today)
buffalo
Grandma Joan and Grandpa Cookie and their house
Being able to go to SD and see our friends
Dad's job
Charleston Chews
Charlie dog
the suburban...and the porsche (Chris is day dreaming...)
moving to Missouri
being able to see new places
Troy Nesbit's homemaking skills (The guy gardens, cans AND quilts...definitely worth mentioning)

It's kind of a funny list, now that I look at it, but it's often the small things that I forget to be grateful for. My kids are goodto remind me of this. I love my Savior and my Father in Heaven for all they have given me. This family and our moments together is the most wonderful gift and I am so deeply thankful for my life with them!
