This week:

• We are grateful for the presence of the sun. We've had many cold, gray days as of late. While beautiful in their own way, we are always glad to see the sun.

• We are thankful for Christmas cookies, and being able to make them together. Even when said cookies do not look like Christmas cookies because Mommy forgot to purchase red and green sprinkles. It all tastes the same going down the hatch, right?

• We are thankful for the beautiful local trails, and our health and ability to walk, bike, run, and otherwise be physically active as a family.
• We are very grateful Hubby's parents could be here with us this week, and we could share this time with them.

So far, it's been a great December.
