Thankful Thursday

1. Holiday movies.
There are certain movies that I love to watch every holiday season. I especially love movies that make me laugh like...

And I always love a movie that makes me cry, and while this is not necessarily a Christmas movie I still love to watch it this time of year...


2. Our extended families.
We have both of our families Christmas parties this weekend. I'm so glad that we actually love to spend time with our families. It's nice to not have the holiday stress of spending time with people we don't like! I'm looking forward to seeing all of our siblings, parents, nieces and nephews this weekend.

3. A new microwave.
While not exactly what I would want to be spending money on this time of year. Our 14 year old microwave (that we got when we got married) died yesterday. It went out with a bang (quite literally) and a fireworks show.

4. School glorious school.
After being off track for the last four weeks Jared and Gabe went back to school on Monday. Sigh.

5. Putting my Christmas cards in the mail today.
I love doing Christmas cards (and getting Christmas cards) but it is a lot of work! I'm glad I will finally be putting them in the mail today.
