30 Days of Thanks - Day 26!

I am participating in the 30 Days of Thanks by BoogieMum. What a great idea for making November a month of thanks instead of just a day!

I am thankful that we succeeded in taking our family picture this weekend! I order picture Christmas cards through snapfish every year. I get a pretty good deal on them because I am a picture addict and I am a good customer to them! Plus, if you google "snapfish coupon" you can always find some sort of deal!

I regress....

We succeeded in getting the picture taken, and all 5 of us were looking at the camera. The cats were not, but oh well! I like to look back on these pictures from year to year.

I am also thankful that I have kept a copy of our Christmas letter each and every year since I started writing them. I didn't start writing Christmas letters until after Princess was born in 2001, so this year marks the 7th Christmas letter I have written. It is fun to look back and see how we have grown and how we have changed. And I am not just talking about the kids!

I keep a copy of each Christmas letter in my Christmas stocking. Each year, when I hang the stockings, I pull out the old letters. I won't let myself do it until the new letter is done though. I would not want to plagiarize! Ha ha!

Anyway, I am thankful for the year to year memories that the Christmas picture and the Christmas letter provide!
