Our Thankful Tree 2012

It has been forever since I have written a post.  I'm not sure what my problem has been but I couldn't just throw these out.  The month of November we had a thankful tree on our kitchen table and each night when we sat down for dinner we each wrote down something that we were thankful for and put it on the tree.  It was so fun!  We missed some nights but it was still really fun.  I am cleaning up Thanksgiving as we get ready for Christmas and read through all of the things that we were thankful for and decided that I should write them down.  Here goes.
