Sweet

I caught Luke putting the Build a Bear to bed. How cute is that??

Oh Christmas Tree. . .

One day we'll have ornaments on the bottom half of the tree. . .

Love Bug

Sometimes I forget how little my kids are. I'm so thankful for little moments that remind me they are still small and still need my hugs, kisses and cuddles.

Lazy Saturday

Just lazing around watching Elf -- the best Christmas movie EVAH! I'm grateful for a Saturday with relatively little on the calendar so we can relax.

My favorite Day of the Year

I love the day after Thanksgiving. Today we put up the Christmas decorations. I'm so grateful to have everyone home from school and work to just play together.

Overwhlemed

If anything was going to make me feel grateful, today would. I'm so grateful to all the people who dragged themselves (and their children) out of bed on a cold holiday morning to come run. For all the people who showed up early to see what they could do to help out. For all the fun I had planning this with my friends. For all their hard work in helping me pull off something I thought of on a whim a few weeks ago. For people who support me no matter what crazy thing I come up with. For people who pushed themselves. For friends who are like family. For having people you can be yourself around. For knowing you are loved and valued. For having friends you look up to. For a family who I adore. For family I love, even if they're far away.

Happy Thanksgiving! I wish I were with you guys, but I'll just be grateful for being warm.

Boys

I don't know what I'd do if it were just me and the girls. I feel like the boys balance us out. And I sure love those handsome faces. I'm so lucky to have 2 of each so I can experience the ups and downs of both.
