Jax begged to stay home from school all morning.
Autumn wasn't feeling 100% and didn't want to go. {truth or not}
But I sent them both.

.

I think I was trying to hard to think about what I was thankful for today.
I tried to be simple
.
Think of every day things.
.
Then I saw Mike go over to the neighbers behind us who are finally moving in.
after we have watched their house be built from ground up.
They are a family that were already in our ward, they just wanted to upsize a tad.
.
.
I realized two things as I watched them unload the trucks.... {in the freezing cold}
How Thankful I am for service.
When we moved here....we had 10 men waiting on our drive way ready to help.
I didn't move ONE peice of furniture...or one heavy box.
they all got their trucks and headed to our storage unit to empty it out.
they were done in hours. it was HEAVEN!
and so unexpected!
.
.
I love that Mike is so willing to serve.
.
.
I am also thankful for Our neighbors.
its a TIGHT net here in our neighborhood.
we are all very protective and close.
.
.
How lucky I am!
I also Talked to My sister today on the phone....
she mentioned having gratitude in all things!
.
So I guess Im thankful for laundry.
all 80 loads i did today.
and atleast 5 more to go......................
.
.
I am thankful!
I am thankful !

I am thankful that its possible to eat dinner as a family.
I have made this a goal a few months ago.
dinners more organized and planned out. :)
.
.
We started a tradition to go around the table one by one and we say:
What was our favorite part of the day?
What was something we learned today?
And how do we feel right now?
.
.
We usually end up having to say TWO prayers.
as Charlee has to say it every time!
.
I love my family.
and I try and dedicate my day and organize properly so family dinners stay a priority.
