#16-21

#16: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Christmas Lights: I LOVE Christmas Lights...on the Christmas Tree, Houses, A Christmas Village, Lining the Windows, Temple Square, On Garland, etc. It's one of my favorite things about the upcoming holidays. It's very soothing and serene for me to just stare at the Christmas Tree and Lights. I'm so excited to get our tree up in the next couple of weeks.

#17: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Glasses and Contacts: Just another wonderful luxury we are blessed with. I swear with working on the computer every day, aging, having kids, and genetics, my eyes get worse each year. But I'm thankful I can get my eye exam to get the right prescription and have that put into glasses and contacts so I can see great.

#18: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Conditioner: I love conditioner. I know it may sound silly to be thankful for it, but with 3 girls (soon 4) in the house that use it, I love having it. Especially with me and Ry's hair permed, it helps get those tangles out...and saves a lot of tears from coming. And luckily, when Costco sends out their coupons, I can get this big bottle for only $4.50! Cheap, works great, and lasts quite a while.

#19: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Fruit: I love how versatile fruit is. It can be used in salads, jellos, fruit trays, used in dips, on fruit pizza, in cake or pie, freezer jam, etc. Not to mention how yummy it tastes, how healthy it is, and the many nutrients/vitamins it gives us. It's so cute that the kiddos will often choose fruit for dessert. It's just that good!

#20: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

School: Though I haven't done a lot this year to graduate, with the birth of Kodes, I'm hoping I can get back in the groove. I love how easy they make it available for me to do it at home in the comfort of PJs. I hope I can get through it soon so I can get a job. I'm also thankful for regular school for the kiddos. We are so fortunate to be in a state/district that thinks it's important to give our kids the best of the world...studies in each subject, Art, Music, Computers, Library, PE, Lunch, Recess, etc. It makes me so proud to see how much my kiddos learn each day. They have amazing teachers...and I really love West Point Elementary.

#21: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Cars/Trucks: I feel very lucky to have both. A lot of days when J has one, I always need the other...whether its to work, run errands, grocery shop, Dr. appointments, school, etc. It's great to be able to rely on something that will get me and the kids to where we need to go quickly and save me time to get everything done in a day. Not to mention that it's cheaper to drive than fly the 6 of us when we're able to vacay...like our recent trip to WA!
