My Post of Thanks

I love this time of year because it helps us to sit down and really think about the things we've been given.  For Family Home Evening this week I cut some leaves out with my Cricut and we all gathered around to talk of the things we are thankful for.  Each of us had the chance to say 3 or 4 things and we wrote them down on the leaves.  The boys were then able to color them and make them unique.  I plan to make a garland for the dining room so that we can be reminded over and over again.

Here are some of the things I am thankful for...

the gospel of Jesus Christ

my family and the chance we have to be together for eternity

my calling in Primary

our home

Jake's job

my new Scentsy "career"

healthy children

food to eat

Satellite TV

high speed internet

Dr Pepper - even though I haven't had any for a couple of weeks

Four seasons

our freedoms in this great country

wonderful friends and neighbors
