Gathering #54

‎2 days... #16 the generosity of others! I handed out 8 donated (gotta love when someone shows up at my school with 60 turkeys) turkeys to my students today. Gotta love how a thing as simple as a turkey makes a 4th grader feel so proud!

Gathering #53

4 days... #14 a clean bedroom. I love it when my room is clean it makes me feel so much better.

Gathering #52

With the Turkey Trot this weekend I got a little behind so drum roll for # 11-13..................................

5 days... #11 my bed. After a long day of work and my crazy life I like to curl up in my bed. #12 snow! I hate to drive in it but it makes the world look pretty! #13 Christmas music. It makes me smile just to hear it!

Gathering #51

8 days... #10 my job. I am grateful that I get to go to work everyday and spend time with 26 CRAZY 9-10 year olds. They make me laugh, and sometimes cry, but all in all they make me grateful to be apart of their lives

Gathering # 50

9 days until Thanksgiving... #9 I am grateful for free stuff. Shutterfly is doing a great promotion right now where they are giving away 50 free Christmas cards to people who do a blog post about them. I love that it is the holiday time and they are helping the little people. Christmas is the best time of year and I can not wait to send out our cards.

My sister in law uses Shutterfly for her invitations and cards. The card she picked for my nieces 1st birthday was so cute and original. Shutterfly has the cutest cards and make life so easy for busy people. It is the best thing that I can plan my card and do it all from home, and for an extra charge they will stuff, address, and send out my cards. What more can we ask for?

This year I think that I am going to choose this card because then I can combine my card with what we have done this year or this one that is more simple and expresses our love for the season.

So what more to be grateful for then getting my Christmas cards done for free?
