thankful

Typically, I do a thankful tree this time of year but alas.....

November is nearing an end and there is no thankful tree in sight....

So, this year, I am settling for a little list of mine....

With some random photos thrown in....

Have a blessed holiday, friends!

I am thankful for...

*balmy november days  (balmy for November in MN!)
*peppermint stick ice cream
* Dove dark chocolate peppermint bark chocolates  (sooo good...I guess I like peppermint)
*quality time spent with my boy playing games...even if he does kick my butt and finds great pleasure in doing so! :)
*sweet, juicy clementines
*artwork scattered through out the house....Owen is on an art kick and I love it
*Owen's hunger for learning.....he comes home and wants to do homework (let's hope this trend continues)
*baby babble and giggles
*pitter patter of Max's hands on the floor while crawling....
 *milestones

*My hard working hubby having the next 6 days off....
*For a job where I have the ability to make my own schedule...a job that also allows me plenty of time at home with my boys
*Christmas music (yes, I confess, I've been listening since November 1st)
*dear family and friends
*afternoon naps
*quiet moments snuggled up with a cozy blanket, cup of tea, and a good book
*surprises.....
