Positive

I am grateful for
1.  positive people, thoughts, and children.  I love it when someone says something nice about someone or something, when I have such a thought, and when my children share such thoughts.
2.  Kyle is getting better (in my opinion) in social situations.

Clean remembering

I am grateful for
1.  Kyle cleaning our room
2.  Reminiscing about the past year as I wrote our Christmas letter

Meals

I am grateful for
1.  A wonderful dinner last night.  Not the meal itself, but the interaction of my children and the lack of opportunities for frustration.
2.  The opportunity to eat with Zachary at school.  It is fun to see him there and to have all the children together.

Love

I am grateful for:
1.  The love I feel for my children.  It amazes me how much I love them and want them to succeed.  It also amazes me at how much their behavior, though it may disappoint me, does not change the extent of my love.
2.  The Christmas devotional, particularly the song.

Smiles and Sleeping

Today I am grateful for:
1.  Naps (everyone but me is asleep right now)
2.  All my kids sitting on Santa's lap and smiling
