I cannot believe that Thanksgiving 2010 has come and is now gone! Each year time seems to go by faster and faster!
Jaron and I have had some really great Thanksgivings over the past ten years. Thanksgivings with lots of family, Thanksgivings with new friends, Thanksgivings with HUGE groups and Thanksgivings with a few very special people.
This year we got to celebrate our Thanksgiving with the Hakes family and we had such a great time (and a great meal)! The highlights we...getting to cook with my kids, having Jaron home for the entire day, getting stung by a bee, seeing all the kids laugh so hard as they rolled down the stairs and Miaja came over and told me she'd had a little accident...it's so cute when she gets laughing that hard... she comes by that honestly!
I don't know if I have ever felt so much gratitude in my heart as I have this year. It starts with my Father in Heaven and Savior Jesus Christ and branches out to my husband and very best friend then my four VERY silly and wonderful children.
I am so grateful amazing parents that are always there for me and who I can always look to for examples that I can trust and rely on and brothers and sisters that I've always admired.
I'm thankful for friends that influenced me for good all through-out my life. I am thankful for good health and am fully aware of what a gift that is.
I am thankful for all of God's creations, big and small.
I am thankful for our home.
I am thankful for each place we have lived and the adventures we've had over the last eight years.
I am thankful that I can keep learning and growing because I realize each day how little I really know and for some reason that only motivates and draws me closer to God.
I am thankful for the challenges that I've had in this life for they have made me who I am and they help me see those around me with more love and compassion.
I am thankful for laughter and smiles...my kids and Jaron share those with me daily.
I am thankful for music and dancing...both are very common in our house!
As cheesy as this sounds I am thankful for love because love is the greatest gift we can give and receive.
Happy (late) Thanksgiving!!!
