Happy New Year!! The day has arrived for our first Thankful Thursday link up and I am so excited!! What a wonderful way to kick off the year...being thankful for the big and small, in the good and the bad.

My Aunt and Uncle from Houston were able to join us this year for Christmas. They asked if they could take the kids out on a shopping spree and oh my did the kids score some awesome gifts!! When my brother and I were little, they would take us out and completely spoil us, too, when they visited and it's just so sweet to me that they want to now do that with my kids. And it's not about the gifts, but rather the love behind the gifts.

My grandparents gave me this cute picture for Christmas. I love it because it is oh so true, yet I am oh so thankful for the little (and big) ones who make this true. Wouldn't change a thing!

I better give you fair warning that you'll definitely see these two a lot in my weekly posts. I am so very thankful to be their mommy!!

This girl has been giving me a run for my money lately, but she melts my heart! It's good for me to soak in those quiet moments with her, or Collin, to remind me to slow down, remember the rough days are not the norm and soak up every day with her (them).

  We spent NYE with some of our favorite friends. Plus, 8 years on NYE, Robert proposed...best decision of my life! :)
