the short list

to begin, i've made a tough decision: i'm going to have to boycott the wall family holiday celebrations for a while. the last two times i've attended their festivities, i've thoroughly enjoyed the company and of course the delicious food; however i have NOT enjoyed the 2days of after-party illness i've experienced. so, wall family, i bid your thanksgiving extravaganzas adieu (at least for the time being).
that being said, this year i am thankful for...
...my husband, in all of his holiday hairyness
...my bebe, in all of his slobbery, chubby goodness
...my penelope jones, in all of her stinky smelliness
...my big sister, who traveled like a million miles just to spend the day with me (or so i like to think)
...my biggest sister, who would have traveled like a million miles just to spend the day with me
...my mom, who is really the most amazing person in the world (my sisters and i took a vote, so it's official)
...my dad, who would do/say/give anything for any of his girls
...snuggles and smooches from some of my favorite kids in the world
...steady jobs and paychecks
...warm houses (or ughpts as the case might be)
...my calling in primary (even if the pres is a bit, dare i say?, crazy)
...healthy bodies (present time excluded)
...happy babies
i know i don't say it enough, but i am very thankful for all of these things and people. so, thank you, things and people, for being such a wonderful part of my life. thank you, thank you, thank you.
