8. yummy, not so healthy, stomach filling food!!!!! (with a little pumpkin pie to top it off)

10. sharing what you're thankful for while sitting around the table
Even though you know AT LEAST 3 people will ask you what you are thankful for during this season, you're still never REALLY prepared to answer. Most people say the first thing that pops into their mind: God, family, food, a house, etc... These are all things I am very thankful for, but there is SO MUCH more! So, in an effort to become more aware of all the great things in my life, I have started an "I am thankful for...." list. Wanna know what's on it? I thought you would, so I started to write one on here, but quickly realized I felt like people were looking into my life. haha! So I think I'll keep it private for now. But go ahead and start your own! It doesn't have to be a Thanksgiving only list...keep it going all year long! And extend it to others. Choose someone in your life and tell them at least 5 reasons why you are thankful for them. :) Then...choose someone else and do the same thing!
Enjoy this season! And try to make it GREAT for someone else!
uh oh!
I mean seriously...how could you not just adore this little bundle of joy!
She is a pro at using this little contraption. I can't believe she is getting so big!!!
Gracie and I went to get Mia up from her nap. You see who she is pointing to. :) Mia LOVES our cat.
The tree in our front yard had AMAZING leaves. They dropped in about 3 days though.
SO GLAD Caleb is back from Haiti!
I wish you could hear her elephant noise. It is so cute!
Trying to type while Daddy works...
No no, Mia!
She can always get his attention :)
He is so good to her. :)
Hopefully these pictures made you smile a bit! Have a GREAT day!
