COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS! NAME THEM ONE BY ONE!

What a beautiful Thanksgiving!
Some of my blessings:

1. My amazing husband!
He decorated my entire house with my 400 nativities
the week before Thanksgiving, so that I could share 
the love with my sister's family and our own children!
He is the perfect eternal companion!
We not only love one another, we like being together too!
How blessed am I?!
2. My best friend,Sister!
GJ and I have so much fun together!
I am soooo grateful we get to do this life together!
Idaho is perfect because my sister is here!
And we did Thanksgiving with BOTH of our families! (23 people in total!)
3. Kiara and Katia
Our daughters are the most beautiful, talented and wonderful daughters!
I'm so lucky to be their mother. 
Not only are they truly good people, but I really love spending time with them!
Scott loves being a girl dad!
I am truly grateful Heavenly Father sent us these two ladies!
4. Cody and Skylar
My boys are such great sports.
They pose for pictures for their over-bearing mother-in-law.
And they have great senses of humor like Scott!
We are truly proud of them! 
We're blessed that they are good husbands to our daughters 
and amazing fathers to our grandchildren!
5. My Dad
I'm soooooo glad that I live close to my father!
He is one of the smartest men I know!
And he's fun, kind, and constantly learning.
Here he is with his FIVE great grandchildren.

This picture leads into another blessing:
6. My Grandchildren
GJ and I couldn't pass up an opportunity to take a
grandma picture with all five of our grandchildren!
Jelly Donut, Lemon Drop, Berry, Mango and Red Skittle

Here are a few random photos of pre Thanksgiving prep and Thanksgiving:
Making cookies for her sister...
Helping to cut apples for apple crisp...
Making the apple crisp...
Red Skittle: I'm Five!
Berry: I'm Four!
Scott won... He's so proud!
Is there anything cuter than this little red head?!
I definitely don't think so!
Red Skittle posed for the photo.
So Berry decided to do a ninja pose also.
I laughed so hard.
Love these two boys!
And my beautiful granddaughter!
I love this happy girl so much!
Jelly Donut is so precious! 
I'm so glad GJ shares her grandchildren with me!
Lovin' both of those smiles!

I'm thankful for all 23 people here!
I really am grateful always... not just on Thanksgiving. But I really felt blessed all week as we hung out with both GJ and my families! What a blessing eternal families are! I'm definitely grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, who makes all this possible!
