We Are Thankful…

We are thankful for our families-BIG and loud and messy… small and comfortable in quiet spaces and always filled with LOVE

For our homes- couches for movie night snuggles, kitchens filled with good food like mac n cheese and chicken and rice..art work hanging on the fridge

We are thankful for bike rides to visit friends, days at the beach and special cake pops we get when dad stops for coffee..

For good friends who care and the kindness of strangers..

For creativity and strength..toys and Ipads..basketball and ballet..

We are thankful for the New York Knicks ( in 5!)

We are thankful for nature- the bluest sky, a dandelion puff, watching the waves crash or the snow gently fall..

We are thankful for crunching leaves and Halloween candy

For music and dance parties to Trolls and Katseye…

We are thankful for memories…beautiful birthday decorations, watching Frozen with my sister for the millionth time and the taste of crispy, salty french fries

We are thankful for those who help us and lift us up

For our teachers, therapists, doctors and nurses..

We are thankful for school ( but not homework)…

We are thankful for our pets – especially Peanut the crazy dog, who is fun to play with and knows just when to curl on our laps after a hard day.

For baking cakes together, even when my siblings are a little annoying…

For medicine and radiation…

For God
