- Two beautiful boys that make me smile
- A great husband that I love so much
- A job that pays enough for M to stay home, but doesn't stress me out
- Diet coke in the morning
- Warm blankets on my bed
- Hair scrunchies to hold my hair out of my eyes
- A calm between two snow storms that allowed us to drive to M's parents house for Thanksgiving
- People who read my blog and make comments
- A safe car to drive in the snow
- Hot chocolate with little marshmellows
- A son who loves to do crafts with me (T)
- A son who loves to watch airplane shows with M (R)
- A great elementary school that teaches R music, art, and art appreciation, language arts, gym, Spanish, as well as the three R's
- Family all across the country
- 8:00 bedtime for the boys, which gives me a couple of hours before I go to bed
- Songs, singing, and a family who loves to sing
- Dolly Parton, who gave us "A Coat of Many Colors" -- the current bedtime favorite"

- Books, libraries, and Scholastic book orders
- My comfy red chair
- God who loves me even when I haven't even started looking for a church yet
- The boys' prayers at dinner time -- T usually thanks God for "having a wonderful day" and R asks that God "make sure our family gets home safely"

I hope every one had a great Thanksgiving!

Too many kisses.
M's love for you and all the sweet things he does to show it.
I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving . . . and we are so looking forward to the family-altogether-at-Christmastime!
P.S. How did you get the bullets to look so nice on your list?
I got teary eyes at the many things you are thankful for. So many blessings!! I'm thankful for a neice who realizes she has so many things to be thankful for. I'm thankful for all the family who showed up on Thanksgiving and made it such a great day. I'm thankful for a husband who made such a delicious turkey and dressing, and all the family members who contributed to our dinner. I'm thankful for R teaching me how to play chess over the telephone. Sure looking forward to seeing you guys at Christmas.
