Ho Ho Ho Ho Santa.

Once a month I teach Sunday school at my church, K-1st graders. It is something I do mostly because they take such good care of my kids when I am not there, the least I can do is take really great care of other peoples kids once a month when they aren't there. That to say, it isn't something I get stoked about- but I always end up having such a great morning. So today, to start, I am thankful for Sunday school and the little girl named Sylvanie who when asked what song she would like to sing, excitedly shouted out "HO HO HO HO SANTA!"- which is really quite humorous because what she was talking about was a song that goes, "Ho ho ho ho-sanna...." Totally adorable. (I have no picture to offer for this because I am against taking pictures of other peoples children and
posting them on the inter-webs.)

Secondly I am thankful for a whole day spent just me and my little man. We had lunch together at Red Robin where we successfully completed the entire children's menu activity sheet together, (minus finding the hidden crayon, because neither one of us could spot it to save our lives). We went to numerous stores where I let him pick out new clothes he wanted for school. I loved watching him look through things and find what he really liked without my guidance. I am so pleased with the little person he is becoming. Somehow, through all the mistakes I have made as a parent, Jesiah is the most amazing 7 year old I know, and I am pretty sure I would think that even if I wasn't his mom.

As a part of this second heaping of thankfulness- I am thankful for fake plugs, because they are awesome.

 Lastly today I am thankful for our friends the Burts. Brandon is awesome because he gets along with my husband, (which can be a bit of a challenge), he is from Oklahoma and wears Carhartt and cowboy boots and because he laughs at everything you say even if it is only a little bit funny. Whitney is awesome because she also likes my husband and has a dry sense of humor which humors me. She is also really smart and a great conversationalist. The two of them made the most amazingly attractive boy child ever and named him Jacob. He and Presley are best friends. We are arranging the marriage.

(Jacob is not pictured here because of the whole "other peoples children inter-webs" thing I mentioned earlier, but trust me, MOST BEAUTIFUL BOY EVER.
