Day 5. Finished Projects

Pictures of me and my boyfriend finally hung on the wall are making me smile today.  

Day 4. Snuggling

Snuggling this baby girl is one of my favorite times of the day. All End of day crabbiness melts away as we giggle and she asks me questions about days of the week and seasons. I've even been known to drift off to sleep before she does.

I'm thankful for people that can say it better than I can, but get it exactly right. 

Day 2. Snow.

I'm thankful for snow.  Especially the, * Oh what we are visiting Colorado isn't it so fun that it snowed 6 inches and magically didn't stick to the roads so we can go get some gloves to play in it * kind .

Especially the * So pretty and white and sparkly you just have to eat it * kind.

And ESPECIALLY the *our whole family is going snowboarding today* kind of snow that we will have this winter.  Can she really be big enough? Geez.  Darin took me snowboarding on our first date... 12 years ago.  My how the days fly.  

{Yep thats me!  I totally rocked it back in the day. HA!}

Day 1. Halloween

Its November and I can hardly believe it.  I was thinking about last year's I'm Thankful week and I've decided to share my thankfuls all month long.    Some will be simple and some will seem silly.  Some will be hard to write down in words but they will all be things I am really so grateful for each and every day.  

Day 1.  Halloween

I've never been much for Halloween until this little lady came along. 

It made me smile so much last night to see her run to the next house and ring the doorbell, peek through the window and hear her little voice say "Trick or Treat!" And then run back down to us, flushed and so happy to have some more candy to fill her bucket.   Funny thing is she doesn't even care about the candy and hasn't eaten a single piece {and probably won't}.   

 But it was the excitement of all of it and the experiencing it as a family that she loved.  And that's what I loved too.  And that is probably what I'm really thankful for.
