I am so thankful for...

I just wanted to do a quick post on the things that I am grateful for. With it being the Christmas season I feel like as I reflect on the last year I have been blessed so much.
First and most importantly I am so grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ.

I'm also so grateful for my wonderful husband and my 3 kiddos. They make each day so exciting and great! They bring so much happiness to me, and I love them so much.








Next I am truly grateful for my parents (all of them) not everybody is lucky enough to have 3 sets of parents, but I am and each and everyone of them mean a lot to me. I love the closeness that I feel with each one of them, and I will say that I have the best Mom and mother in law EVER!!








I am also grateful for all of Dan & my siblings. I love spending time with all of them and the niece's and nephew's, they are so much fun! The memories that we make with each of them are fabulous and Dan & I are so grateful for those relationships.








Next I am so grateful for our great friends... The Jensen's, we met Nick & Tanya about 5 years ago and we have been the best of friends ever since, they are like family to us and the Jensen's are just those fabulous friends that can drop over at anytime and it doesn't matter if your house is a mess or if your not dressed for the day and it's o.k. Nick and Tanya mean a lot to Dan & I and we love spending time with them and we love all the laughs that we have.






Last but not least I just wanted to also say how grateful I am for our soldiers who are away from their families this holiday season to fight for the freedoms that you and I both share, I pray for them and their families and I hope that they can return home soon.

Thanks, Marcie, for a sweet post. We are so blessed as a family to have such great kids and grandkids! By you posting your thoughts, I have paused to think of what I am grateful for. Definitely, we are so grateful for you, Dan and the kids. We love living by you and being involved in all that you do. Thanks for being a fabulous daughter!! (and for having such awesome kids)

What a neat post Marcie! This time of year always causing me to reflect on my blessings. I love your new family pictures- love the black and red. And am I mistaken or are you guys at Chuck E Cheese in one of those pix? Is there a C E C in Utah now? Don't tell Ammon, that would be one more reason for him to add to his list of why he thinks we should move back to Utah. We miss you guys!

First of all, I just have to say that I typically don't blink in pictures, so I'm surprised that the one picture you have of me, I'm blinking... oh well.

Marcie this post is great. Your family pictures always turn out so good. I just can't believe how grown up Brianna is looking, it must be the Jr. High/Officer thing. She's beautiful.

Also, kudos to you for getting such a great shot of my dad. Now, he does usually blink in pictures. Not only was he not blinking, but he looks really great in the Chuck E Cheese picture.

It was great to see you guys last night. I'm excited for Friday (right Dan???)

What a great post and a great reminder for this time of year. There are so many incredible things to be grateful for and I know I am guilty for taking a lot of stuff for granted. I have to agree that the parents we share are amazing, and I love your in-laws too, they are great people. We are grateful for you, Dan and the kids as well. I adore your kids!!!
