Give Thanks

I am going to follow the lead of my family and try to blog as much as possible about what I am thankful for during this fun holiday month.

I have been so incredibly blessed with an amazing family, I couldn't dream of a better childhood, and married into a great family.

I have the best Mom in the entire world, she is my friend and my biggest fan. She loves me regardless of how rotten I act. I love hanging out with my Mom, she helps me with Addie, and we just have a blast together. It seems she gets smarter each year I get older... :) She has an incredible writing talent and I know one day you will see her books at the bookstore. Just wait. She might be kind enough to grace you with an autograph... you might be that lucky. Seriously, her book is GOOD!

My Dad, the hardest working person I know. He loves his family so much and does anything for us. He will drop everything at my call and come and help me lug new furniture home or will leave work right in the middle of something to come give me a blessing when I'm sick. He is the best dad I could have ever asked for!

An incredibly loving sister Katie, who withstands my shopping trips and shares my taste in books.

A stinky but wonderfully fun brother, Scott, who can always bring a smile to my face.

My husband who drives me insane with his quirks is my very best friend and I love to just spend time with him, be it eating a quick lunch in my car while Addie naps or on a trip to home depot just so I can be with him while he runs errands.

My perfect little daughter Addie. I never imagined how she would complete me. She is my little angel and brings me more joy with her little ways than anything in the entire world.

My mother in law, Michelle, I call her constantly with need of advice over Addie's health or just for baby/Jarom advice and she does so with a laugh and love (or laugh and agree if I call her just to complain about her son who has ruined two whole loads of laundry this year by leaving pens in pockets I wouldn't think of to check).

My father in law Lavor. He loves his family so much and sure does make me feel welcome.

Alisha, who helps me be crafty and has such a fun little family of her own. I love our time together, it is a girl time when I know I can be myself and you'll love me anyways.

Kiara, I love how she is impossibly beautiful, smart, and so loving. She immediately had Addie loving her within a day and Addie couldn't get enough of her.

Carly, my preggers buddy. I love how we can share our girls growing up together, how perfect it worked out them being only 4 days apart.

Lacey, who helped bring me into this family by letting Jarom use her cell when he got home from his mission... haha! I love Lacey and her boys, they are so much fun to be around.

Lexi, for taking care of Jarom's back because I don't enjoy it like she does... haha. Lexi is so sweet and has always been so nice to me.

Sam, for being Sam. (Even if he does cover my room in pukes). He is so sweet and kind to all of the babies in the family.

Abby, for being such a doll. She is so sweet.

I am so thankful for my extended family too. Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and good friends. You all make my life so much better. I love you all.

This is a really long one, so it might count for several thankful posts!
