I can still be thankful on Sunday right???
1. A new work schedule.
I am finally up on the senority list a little bit more at work, and have a little bit more choice in when I work. That combined with that fact that someone dropped the shifts that I could work make it so I wont have to work on Sunday anymore. (At least for now, in the medical field you can't always get away from it completely.) I'm really glad, especially for Trevor. Bless his soul for taking five kids to church by himself every other Sunday for as long as he has. And going to church every week will be nice, although I'm really really going to miss the five minute sacrament meeting at work.
2. Forgiveness.
I hurt someones feelings this week. Someone I love and would never want to hurt. I'm so thankful that she forgave me and didn't hold a grudge.
3. A warm house, warm bed, and warm socks.
4. Our Christmas Tree.
When we moved a couple of years ago we somehow lost the box that held all of our Christmas tree decorations. Everything. (This is the only box we lost in our move, and believe me we have looked everywhere.) I had made everything that was on our tree, but the thing that makes want to cry to this day is my button ornaments. When my Grandma passed away I inherited her button box. There were tons of buttons that she had collected for years. I put her buttons in clear glass ornaments and they were so cute tied with a little raffia bow. Sigh. I still miss those ornaments. I just haven't loved our tree as much since then. So every year I feel a little bit bittersweet about our Christmas tree. I love it, but it feels like something is missing.
5. Chapstick and lotion.

Wow, yea for a new work schedule! Trevor IS amazing to take the kids each week by himself! I don't even want to think about what would happen if I had to take the boys by myself! I didn't know you lost all your ornaments in the last move :( That is sad. I hope wherever they are, they are loved and happy! Great list!
I love you Bonnie! I'm so sorry this whole silly thing got blown so out of proportion. I didn't mean for you to think it was your fault. It honestly was a combination of comments from some other people as well as an encounter with the in-laws.
Merry Christmas. Enjoy your family ad the holidays!
Hi Bonnie-
It's so good to hear from you, I'm glad you got our card. I sent Christmas in July cards last year right before Ansley was born since we hadn't sent cards in a couple of years and had moved, but yours came back. I couldn't figure out why since the address was right so I'm glad you got this one! I always love getting your pretty, creative Christmas cards. Your kids are so big. I can't believe Mason and Miquelle are 12 years old, she is such a pretty girl. Maybe they can go out someday and then they could say that they knew eachother since they were babies! I got a card from Janet Wayman this year too it was fun to see her family, they are so grown up too. I was reading through some of your recent posts and was thinking, no wonder I'm friends with her, we have so much in common and I agree with all of your thoughts! Like the bad Christmas music, esp the Christmas shoes. We just can't stand that one. I'm so excited that you have a blog so I can keep up with you better. I need to get mine updated, my two month old Halloween post is looking pretty pathetic, I've just been so busy the last couple of months.
Talk to you soon,
Elisabeth
