Christmas is coming and I'm so thankful for so many things. I thought I'd better list some of my blessings to keep things in the right frame of mind. Too many times I find myself getting stressed for no reason at this time of year. First of all, I'm thankful for such a wonderful family. My husband is such a hard worker and great provider. Taylor has turned 5 now and is such a big helper. Yesterday we had a Christmas party and she was so good about helping me clean the house. Morgan is such a little snuggler at 3 1/2. She says things like, "Mom, I really, really, really, really love you so much." Then there is Jordan. She has reached the 6 month point already and is just such a good baby. She sleeps 10- 12 hours each night and loves to laugh. She is so content and loves to play by herself or with her sisters.

Beyond family, I'm blessed with a teaching job that I enjoy every day. My family is healthy and so are both of our extended families. My children have 3 great grandmas still living and are getting to know them more each year.

What a great Christmas season this will be!
