Happy Thanksgiving! Daily Gratitude

Happy Thanksgiving! I have a little catching up to do so today I am grateful for...

My wonderful husband!

I didn't do a very good job taking pictures today so this picture of my mom is here because I am grateful for her and she is representing all of my dear family who I love and am grateful for.

I am grateful for my sweet little family! I love you, Deanie, Addy, and Kellsie!

I am grateful for hot chocolate.

And I am grateful for yummy food, which I enjoy making as much as eating. I still have some catching up to do but this will have to do for now. Happy Thanksgiving!

Daily Gratitude

I am grateful that my children love each other and get along. I don't know if it will always be that way so I am trying to be especially grateful now.

Daily Gratitude

I am grateful for my small appliances. Having lived for 5 years without a dishwasher I will never (or at least try to never) take it for granted. I am also grateful for my washer and dryer and all the other things that make my life easier!

Daily Gratitude

I am grateful for the scriptures! They are my guidebook for life. I don't know what I would do without the blessing of the scriptures.

Daily Gratitude

I am grateful for baby laughter. One laugh from my babies makes all the crying and screaming bearable and raising them worth the hard work.

Daily Gratitude

I am grateful for music! I love singing, playing and listening to it. It also carries the Spirit in a way that nothing else can. The world would be a sad place without music.

My piano for which I am also grateful so I can sing, play, and listen to music.

Daily Gratitude

Today I am grateful for the sunshine. There is almost nothing better then the sun shining through my windows on cold days making cozy sunspots where I can sit and be warm.

Me taking a picture of myself sitting in just such a spot. It was nice and warm. :)

Daily Gratitude

Today being Veteran's Day and all, I am grateful for all those who have and are serving our country, especially those who give their lives to protect our freedom and give that blessings to others as well.

I don't know any service people personally so our flag with have to do. :)

Daily Gratitude

I am grateful for answered prayers! I know that Heavenly Father loves me because He answers even small request that won't really matter in the long run but seem like a big deal now. Like help me get to the gas station without running out of gas or help Kellsie eat her dinner. Of course He answers all my prayers, big and small. Because of this I know that He lives and loves me!

The First Vision-Gary Kapp

I don't know how to take a picture of answered prayers so here is a picture of one answered prayer, that even though it was not mine I am grateful for.

I am grateful for my knowledge of the plan of happiness!

I am grateful that I have a heater! I hate being cold and love when I can come inside on a cold day to a nice, warm house.

I am grateful that Val is home all day with nothing to do but spend time together, go to church and play with the kids. He even makes us lunch. It's awesome.

I am grateful for beautiful warm fall days so we can play in the leaves.

Today I am grateful for Bedtime! Hooray! No kids to worry about at least for awhile. :)

Today my kids and I are grateful for the Library. Who doesn't love to read and to have so many books and resources available for free is awesome!

We love the Library!

Today I am grateful for the 30 times Addy has come up to me and said, "Mommy, I love you. I love you infinity much."

Daily Gratitude

Anyone who knows my kids knows they struggle with food. So today I am grateful that we were able to eat breakfast without complaints or fits and it didn't take an hour either.

This cute picture is of their messy faces to prove they did indeed eat.

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude

I have decided to do a gratitude project during the month of November by taking a picture of something I am grateful for every day. I have taken pictures the last 2 years and I keep meaning to scrapbook them but I've never gotten that far. Now that I have a blog I think I will do it this way. It's much easier. So today I am grateful for...

my not stolen wallet. Long story, short, I thought someone had stolen my wallet but then I found it. Yay! It's a lot better then having to replace everything.
