So many things to be grateful for!

With Thanksgiving just last week we have had a lot of time to reflect on what we are grateful for. I think it is so easy to sit and dwell on the things that we don't have in our lives (most of them are totally unnecessary of course). Our family is so blessed and I would be totally wrong to say that we aren't.
I am grateful for my wonderful husband who I love so much! We have been head over heels for each other since we were sixteen and I am grateful to have such an awesome guy in my life. I am grateful for my children. I still can't believe that Heavenly Father trusts me to take care of these two beautiful children but I am doing my best. They make me a better person. I am grateful for my friends. I have been overwhelmed by the love and support that my friends show me. They always lift me up and keep me going! I am grateful for our house. I complain a lot that it isn't as big as I'd like it but frankly I'm just glad we have a roof over our head! There are so many people out there with NOTHING that would give anything to have my house. I am so grateful for my testimony. I know that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and cares about me. He hears my prayers and answers them. I could go on and on but I'll spare you.

Here are some pics from Thanksgiving, seeing Santa and Temple Square


The kids helped me make over 60 rolls for our Thanksgiving feast!


Waiting for Santa


Yeah! He's here! The kids were so excited to see him. I love it when they get excited about things!


Remember when you were little and the simplest things made you so happy? Thank goodness for glow sticks.


The lights at Temple Square were gorgeous!


Simply amazing!


Decorating the tree. The kids had so much fun!


Tadaah! It's done! (well at least until the kids go to bed so mom can re-do it all!)
