Giving Thanks

I am following in the lead of many of you and taking the time to write down how thankful I am this time of year.
Of course I am very grateful for my husband and kids and I hope that I express that to them not only this time of year but all year long. I truly have a Great husband who is also a great friend and father. My two kids are my life and I couldn't image one day without them. I am so grateful that they picked me to be their mom.
Second I am Thankful for My mother who is my best friend she is one of the greatest mothers I know. She is so patient and loving to each one of her girls and her 8 grandchildren. How lucky I am to have her as my mother.
Last but, certainly not least I am so grateful for my sister Holly and her strength that she has shown me throughout this last year and half. I don't know where her strength comes from, only that I know she relies on her faith. This time last year my little nephew Easten was once again fighting for his little life down at Primary Childrens. We were not able to spend or share Thanksgiving or Christmas with Holly, Rusty, Stetsen and Little "E". It was a season full of hope and prayer that Easten would be well enough to come home and share Christmas with his family. On Christmas Eve he was released and able to come home with strict no visitors allowed.
I want to Thank my heavenly Father for bringing this special little boy into our family. He has brought so much happiness and love.
I can't imagine what his little body has been through in this short time he had been with us, but I do know that Easten is a FIGHTER and he wants to be here and be apart of this world.
I am so Thankful that my family is healthy and we will all get to spend the Holidays together.
Happy Thanksgiving.
