Thankful Lists 2009

This is a continuation of a tradition that my mom started when my siblings and I were little. Every day, from November 1st until Thanksgiving Day, we would list one thing that we were thankful for. She has a list for each of her children every year that we lived at home.

And now I have the same for my kids. Here are this year's lists (completely in their own words and unedited, which is important to remember when reading Adana's list):
