Thanks

Aiden woke up this morning and said, "Let's all say what we are thankful for. But we can't say family because we are all thankful for that."
So Aiden said-my turtle Ed
Eliza said-Jesus
Jack said-da (which Eliza interpreted as day)
Russell-was working
As for me I am of course thankful for the big, huge things in life-family, the gospel, a nice home, food, clothes, America....but I am also thankful for little things to.


1. Dr. Pepper-why is that nectar so sweet?
2. The Amazing Race-I look forward to Sunday nights to watch my favorite show.
3. Treats-oh, I do love treats.
4. Monday Nights-although family night is fun, I love after we put the kids to bed and Russell and I fold laundry together and watch Castle on t.v. It's the only time Russ will watch t.v. with me and I love it. And I have a laundry buddy!
5. Books-there is nothing like a good read.
6. Yoga-I love my yoga class that I go to 2 to 3 times a week, I feel strong and healthy when I go. And my teacher is awesome.
7. A New Shirt-I really enjoy having a new shirt to wear. It's fun and makes me feel pretty. :)
8. When The Kids Sleep In-I'm talking to 8:30am on a Sunday, that is a sweet little present for me. It doesn't happen very often so I really enjoy it when it does.

9. Straightening Iron-nobody would want to see me without it!

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and enjoys the little and big things we are blessed with in our lives!

I am also thankful for Dr. Pepper. There are days that I just feel so much better after I've had one. :) I really enjoyed your list.

I love that it was Aidans idea. I asked my kids what they were thankful for and after nagging Karlee for 20 minutes the best she could come up with was " I'm thankful for havng a sleepover at Grandmas." I guess I'll take what I can get. :-) hahahaha
