No way can it be...

DECEMBER!!

I am not ready!

I wanted to be prepared!

I really, really wanted to be oragnized

and be ready for the fun and craiziness that December brings!

However, sadly, I am not!

(surprise, surprise)

We have started some of the festivities though...

A visit to Santa.

Emerson still doesn't know if she likes it or not!

Easton wasn't sure either!

Hopefully by the end of this weekend I will be prepared to handle the up coming weeks!

Today I am thankful for these beautiful little people!

They make me who I am. They make me want to be a better person.

They fill my days with so much joy and love.

Aniston is amazing!

She is smart and beautiful. She is growing up to be a sweet young lady. She is my big helper. She is so much a 1st child!! I love her so much.

Emerson is still my little girl. She loves to cuddle with me. She wants to be big like Aniston. She is silly and shy, and I just think that she is adorable!!

Easton is my sweet baby. I am just amazed by him everyday. He has these little looks that just melt my heart. He raises one eyebrow at me and flashes me a gigantic smile. He is perfect and I am so much in love with him!

I feel so thankful and blessed everyday

that they are mine!

Today I am thankful for my mom.

Not only is she the best grandma to my kids, she is a fantastic mom and an even better friend to me.

She is ALWAYS there for me.

She never misses anything the kids do.

She is so supportive of us and I love and appreciate her for that.

With Thanksgiving being only days away, I realize that I haven't done well with posting everyday. I have been thinking about it everyday and have been taking the time to realize all that I am thankful for, because lately it seems like I have a lot to be thankful for.


Today I am thankful for my grandparents. They are amazing and such a big part of my life. If I need them, they are always here for me. If they don't see the kids for a couple of days, they are calling and insisting to see them. They say that can't stand it when they don't get to love and kiss them.

I love that we can spend a Sunday afternoon together, just like we did this last Sunday. The day was gloomy and the wind was blowing in a storm. But at my grandparents house it was so warm and cozy!

We spent the afternoon, talking, having cheese sticks and yogurt, and listening to the kids giggle and throw balls across the living room with grandpa. I just love them and love all of the time that we get to spend together!


...note to self: you need to take some photos of the kids with their grandparents!!

Today I am thankful that someone has learned how to write her name.
She writes it on EVERYTHING...and I mean everything.
I love it!
It makes me smile when I find it, even when I find it in my checkbook!

Today I am thankful for things that make me laugh...
