Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We ate at my parent's house and Mom's cooking is always great. She complains that as she gets older her cooking gets worse, the grandkids just looked at her like "huh?"

I've been such a slacker at blogging lately and have a whole bunch a birthday photographs to post. We've been celebrating birthdays at our house and life has been very busy at work. I'm hoping to download some pictures soon and update my blog.

I just wanted to stop and post how thankful I am for all of my friends and family and for my "new blogging friends". I have so much to be thankful for:

• Like I said I am thankful for my family. My parents are always there to help me out with whatever I need and I rely on them so much, as well as a big brother who I know really does love me. My other brother is away so I don't get to see him as often.
• As I was helping the boys clean the family room last night and cussing the mess under my breath and as I was listening to all three kids fight and tease this morning, I had to stop and think how thankful I am for them and that they are healthy children. I may get frustrated and definitely they test my patience but they are such a blessing in my life.
• I am thankful for my beliefs and for the Savior and his sacrifice. I can't believe that we are about to start the month of December and the Christmas season will be upon us.
• I am thankful for the seasons, even though I complain about the slick roads and cold weather.
• I am thankful for the medical professionals who have been there to help our family with minor and major incidents.
• I am thankful for mine and Todd's employment. I am also thankful for the co-workers that I have, they are a lot like family and it makes my job much easier.
• I am thankful for a roof over my head and that I can turn up the heat when I am cold.
• I am thankful for my freedom and for those that have fought so that we can enjoy our freedom.

What are you thankful for? I hope that this Thanksgiving you took a moment to reflect on what you are thankful for. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
