Untrained thankfulness...

So we decided to kinda do our own facebook thankful thing within our own family.  So every night we each said something we are thankful for and why we are thankful for it.  Here are some of the more interesting ones that the kids have come up with.  I am very proud of all three of them for thinking beyond what we are trained to be thankful for.

The kids are

Aubry - 9 (almost 10 - I am reminded daily)

Isaac - 7 1/2

JJ - 3

JJ - Daddy - because he loves me  (Ok so that was a typical one, but I still loved it :))

Aubry - Soap - So we can be clean and not smelly

Isaac - Air - so we can breathe

JJ - Basketall Hoop - so I can play with Daddy (I might start getting a complex from this kid)

Aubry - Benedryl itch spray - for my fire ant bites

JJ - Peanut Butter sandwich - because it's so yummy!

Isaac - April Fools Day - Because I get to play jokes on you - then he said just kidding   - :LOL

Aubry - Water - to drink and use.

There were many more, but of course, I would forget to go to my computer every night to type them in. 

For the month of December we are focusing on what the real Christmas story is all about.  I do seem to notice more and more of there being less of Christmas in Christmas and more Holiday in Christmas, so since my kids will get less and less of it out and about then it is even more of Ben's and my job to make sure they "Get the Christmas"

Merry Christmas!!!
