and people wonder why they are spoiled...

Our niece and nephews could get anything and everything over on Aaron and I. They are the light of our world. We absolutely love spending time with them and I think they are many times our excuse to go home. I got a text from my sister in law yesterday that said "Alex just picked out a turquoise bracelet and said we should get this for Janah-she looks very pretty in turquoise". Talk about your heart melting-ahhh. Just Friday, Aaron went home for the evening and went to see the kiddos for a bit. As he was leaving, precious Julia stuck her little lip out, teared up her big brown eyes and said "Aaron dont leave me, I'll miss you". Talk about being wrapped around someone's finger. No wonder we buy and exchange 3 different pillow pets because a certain 3 year old can't make up her mind, go to 5 different stores looking for the perfect Halloween costume, find ways to squish 2 (sometimes 3) car seats in our smallcars, buy happy meals just to get more of the toysthe kids want, and the list goes on and on. They have our hearts!

Thankful for so much!

Its a week past Thanksgiving, but I'm still thankful nonetheless. We had a great day with my family and Aaron's dad on Thanksgiving and spent time with the rest of Aaron's family throughout the weekend. As I stopped to look around I of course noticed lots of yummy food, my wonderful family, a loving husband and realized we have so much to be thankful for this year, so for this I am thankful-in no particular order:

1. A loving, and forgiving Savior

2. My wonderful husband

3. An amazing family

4. A job that I fall more in love with every day

5. The opportunity to grow in said job-say hello to the newest member of the Pediatric Critical Care Transport Team!

6. Health-mine, Aaron's, and my familys'

7. Christmas music on Lite 98

8. Mariah Carey's Christmas CD on repeat

9. My niece and nephews-and spoiling their hearts out!

10. Nutella, pretzels, and diet. dr. pepper!

11. A clean apartment

12. Pottery Barn

13. Dancing with the Stars

Happy Holidays!
