You can leave your lists here or on my blog.
Thanks!  Hope everyone is starting to get excited about Thanksgiving and the holiday season!

This is a great family tradition...although I didn't see grateful for a most wonderful mom on Greg's list....lol jk

I have so many things I am grateful for so I am sure my list will be a work in progress.

First of all I am most grateful for the gospel that allows families to be together forever. I am grateful that I married well and was able to be a mother to Greg, Rick, Shannon,Brady,Tim,Danny and from that to be a grammie g to 17 most beautiful,talented,smart and amazing grandbabies. Jillie,Reagan,Kobe,Jackson,Danny,Jewel,Jacob,Kyle,Jared,Karly,Dallin,Ty,Savannah,Brookelyn,Amaya,Jaci,Troy.
I am grateful for my good health that allows me to hold down a good job and from that job grateful for the benefits of being able to travel to visit my kids that aren't close by. AND to share the benefits with my family to be able to travel with them.
I am grateful for the tremendouse love and generosity and concern I recieve from all my children it means alot to me.
I am grateful for the scriptures that give me inspiration and guidance when I am unable to be as active in the church as my heart desires.
I am grateful for chocolate...it gets me through some tough times...lol
I am grateful to live in Colorado to experience the seasons.
I am grateful for the talents I have been blessed with and able to share with family and others.
I am grateful for prayer especially when I am feeling alone, I recieve comfort and companionship through my prayers.
I am grateful for the trial I have been required to endure and learn from, I feel I am a better person for having gone through them.
I am grateful for my car, I love that little Honda.
I am grateful to have a home that my kids from time to time are able to come and take refuge and get back on their feet. I love having them close and under my roof.
I am grateful for my heritage and my parents, I am glad they wanted children.
As I write I think of things...and this thought just came to me...I am grateful for the friendship I have with my daughters in law and my children, that is truly a great blessing in my life.
Ok I have to go and get ready to make sugar cookies with Shannon Abby and the kids...there will be more to come.lol
Hey I have been here longer than any of you so I am entitled...so quit sighing...lol

I love all of your lists. I would say that I am most thankful for my family(my husband, children, immediate family and in-laws... you are all wonderful! and my extended family) and of course the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Then the list would go as follows:
1. my home that feels like a "home" and the beautiful views of the temple I have daily.
2. friends
3. the internet that keeps me connected to family and friends.
4. good music
5. good shows,(Tivo!!!) and movies
6. my fireplaces, warm blankies and snuggly socks and uggs in the winter.
7. the ability to imagine and create things...and bring happiness to others this way.
8. good makeup
9. my pink chi
10. being a stay at home mom (this should be at the top of my list!)
11. Brady's warm body to keep me toasty at night (I get cold easily, can you tell?)
12. my cell phone and all modern conveniences in general.
14. the beach and a place I can always go stay there.
13.My FAMILY, My FAMILY, My FAMILY!

My list could go on forever...but here are a few of my favorites this season! Happy Fall to you all!!!
