Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep


1. I am thankful I have a daughter to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade with (pictured above). She was a long time coming, but she is worth the wait. This Christmas season is filled with much more joy than last year!
2. I am thankful for my husband who puts up with a lot from me. I am thankful that he is such a great sport and makes everything more fun! I am blessed to be so excited to come home to him!
3. I am thankful for my dad. He is an anchor in my life. He is the most unselfish person I know. I am thankful that he always lets me know he loves me and that I know I can count on him. He goes far beyond what is expected of a dad.
4. I am thankful for my mom. I am thankful she has set such a high standard for me to live up to with my own daughter. She is truly the most amazing person I know. I depend on her in every way possible and she always pulls through for me. There is nobody that cares more about her kids than her.
5. I am thankful for my sister. I am thankful she is prettier than me, because if it was the other way around she probably wouldn't like me very much! I am thankful that I not only have a sister, but also a best friend. I am thankful that I can always count on her for a really great story and a laugh! I am thankful that she is so thoughtful and always takes care of me. I am thankful that she is so talented and shares those talents with me.
6. I am thankful for my grandma who has taught me what faith really is. I am thankful that she is always there and that we can have a close relationship. I am thankful that she is here for Vivie to have a relationship with too. I am thankful that people are shocked when they learn she is my grandma for the first time because she is super stylish!
7. I am thankful that I have an aunt who is more like my sister. I am thankful that she has figured out this kid thing before me so that she can give me tons and tons of advice ( and clip Viv's nails)! I am thankful that I can be close to her family and have a close relationship with her amazing boys!
8. I am thankful for my uncle and his family for being living proof that families (no matter how they come to be) are created by design and not by coincidence. They have taught me to stand up for myself and what I believe.
9. I am thankful for in-laws who have welcomed me into their family with open arms. They have taught me so much about acceptance.
10. I am thankful that I know we can be a family forever.

I love all of you, Happy Thanksgiving
