Thankful

We had a great weekend spending the holiday with Burke's extended family. The kids played with their cousins, the adults ate (and ate), and Burke got to go shooting with his brothers and their boys.
I got to go shopping.
What more do you need?
I am so thankful that we have family who can gather together and enjoy a nice meal.
I am thankful that my kids love to play with their cousins.
I am thankful that we are all healthy this year.
I am thankful that we could still talk about Grandpa and how much we miss him.
I am thankful that I have a great family of my own.
I am thankful that my boys held the door open for me and my girls on Sunday.
I am thankful that my husband hung all my Christmas lights.

I am thankful that my driveway gets shoveled when it snows...
Lest Grandma see this photo and think poorly of my mothering skills, I claim ignorance. This was Daddy's little helper who was supposed to be in bed, and sneaked out to help daddy shovel the driveway. And no, I didn't take this picture, but I did laugh really hard when she came in with freezing little feet.
I am thankful for my children who keep things interesting and for a husband who makes a 4 year old get out of bed and want to be with him in bare feet on a cold snowy night.
