Against my will, Brooke and Jeremy left this helicopter in our basement when they moved last spring. The kids think it's the greatest thing ever. 

Today I am thankful that, despite being only 14 weeks pregnant, I am already feeling much better than I was 2 months ago. With previous pregnancies I didn't start feeling well until around 20 weeks, but relief seems to be coming much sooner with this little babe.

Today I am thankful for pumpkin pancakes. It made for an easy dinner after a busy day. And everyone ate without a single complaint.

Tonight Isaac leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Joesph and Mary are so lucky--they got to have a magic baby!"

Me and my Casanova.

Today I am thankful to have to opportunity to teach a religion class, and especially to be able to study the life of Christ this semester. I'm pretty sure Heavenly Father knew that the only way I would make time to read Jesus the Christ was if I was forced to do so by way of a calling. It has been such a blessing and a growing experience to learn more about Him this way. It just might be my favorite calling ever.

I am thankful for Christmastime, one of my very favorite times of the year!
