On the eleventh day of Christmas

On this the eleventh day of Gratitude I am grateful for...

  1. My Sister and her husband and family for opening up their home, AGAIN this year, for us to gather in to celebrate this blessed season together as a family.
  2. Safe travels to and from my sister's place on these very snowy roads.
  3. Time spent with my Mom and Dad, siblings (all but two, and they were greatly missed), and all their wonderful rugrats, for a total of 34 people. 
  4. The joy that is felt when gathered together as family.
  5. Our yearly tradition of a Mexican feast that has been going on since the beginning of time, as far as I am concerned.
  6. Food (lots of it) and laughter(lots of it) and all kinds of silliness.
  7. The sweet tradition of a family nativity
  8. A cute donkey, angel, shepherd and wise man. 
  9. The pristine winter wonderland that welcomed us home. That snow is just so pretty when there isn't a single foot print in it and it glistens in the Christmas lights. 
  10. A husband that shoveled ALL of that snow off the driveway and sidewalks.
  11. Kids who just went to bed so easily and happily.
  12. The chance I now have to play Santa and set up all the Christmas surprises.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
