We are Thankful for Family, Day 26 & 27.....

We are thankful for family and all being together.

We are Grateful for Crafty Friends, Day 25.....

We were so lucky to hang out with the Sadlier's and the Foss' today. We are grateful to know such talented people. Heather showed the kids how to make these nifty little cookies. I know that my kids had a good time!

Sweet Sleep, Day 24.....

We are grateful for a good night's sleep. This morning was awesome, me and my children all slept in until 9:05. I couldn't believe it! I can't remember when the last time we all could do that. Unfortunately for James, he got up early to go to work. I love my bed, and am so grateful to sleep in it every night!

The Great Adventure, Day 23.....

We are grateful that the men folk returned home yesterday from their grand adventure. They went to Cedar City to see our friend's, Ed Lamb, college football team play their last game of the season. The boys also went camping in Zion's National Park. From what I have been able to gather in between delighted screams of laughter and joy, they had a fabulous time. They came home smelling something awful, and extremely tired which is always a good sign that they had fun!

We are Grateful for BFF's, Day 22....

Today I am grateful for my smallest BFF (Best Friend Forever).......Olivia. Today we have had the pleasure of spending all day together, and it is not all over yet. We ate breakfast in bed, watched a Christmas movie (I know a little early), and another movie. We went to Panda Express for a delicious lunch. And now, Olivia has plans for us to go to Z Pizza for dinner, followed by some Chunky Monkey. We have plans for hair and nails later and maybe some jacuzzing.....and Jamba Juice (I think that is pushing it). I love this little munchkin, she makes me happy!

Friday, I am thankful for, Day 21.....

On Friday, while Olivia was in school, I was able to go to the movie with some friends from church. We saw the Twilight movie. Most of us had read the book and we were looking forward to seeing the movie. My recomendation is that if you haven't read the book, read it first then see the movie, the book is always better! We had a great time and it was fun to get together and not to have to worry about babysitters!

Nathan is the best, Day 20....

We are grateful to have Nathan (James' brother) in our family. He came over tonight and did all kinds of odd jobs on our house. Without Nathan I am not sure what we would do. He fixed my kitchen sink, hung bike racks in the garage, fixed my toilet, installed a medicine cabinet in our bathroom, fixed one of my kitchen chairs....What a brother-in-law!!!! Thanks Nathan and Bree for helping our house feel like a home.
