I know Thanksgiving is usually a season of Thanks...but I am so blessed and so grateful right now for the beauty in my life that I have to share my thoughts.

This Christmas season I am grateful for:

*Family-the up's, the down's, the all arounds. Without Family, I wouldn't be the person I am today and my life would be void of a lot of love

*California-there is something about this state that centers me, that reminds me of who I am and where I want to go

*Snow-seriously it's not Christmas without the white, fluffy stuff

*Mint Tea-it warms my body and my mind

*Sticky-wet kisses from Langdon and Devin (I hate not having them everyday); also hugs and love from my princesses (Ava Marie, Lizzy, and Mia)

*Jellybeans...even if they make me sick cause I eat to many

*My mom...seriously...she really is funny and she loves me more then anyone I know

*Stephanie Brooks-she is my level when I need to come back down from a rant and see the full perspective

*Jessica "The Brow" Donbrosky-I couldn't ask for a better girlfriend, she really means a lot to me

*Heather Anne-my soul-friend. nobody knows me better and loves me more

*Jesse Swift...we'll leave it with the dots

*Sassy-my personal heating blanket and my comfort during the night

*The gospel-nothing drives me and blesses me more then my faith and my commitment to my covenants

*Service (Seriously...the world needs to get on the bandwagon)

*Great books and a warm blanket (or a pink snuggie-take your pick)

*Chantal-my sister and the only person to ever 'bite my bum'

*Answers to prayers...specific and personal answers to prayers

*Papabear's memories (and his comfort level with me to share these beautiful memories of the person I miss most in this world...)

*My Aunts (they are all special in their own way-AND NOT IN THE SHORT BUS WAY!)

*All of you and SOO much more
