Things that make me happy:

~ Thanksgiving lunch at the office with all of my work friend/family.

~ My wonderful daughter that got up at 5:00 am this morning to help me make cobblers and peel/cut/mash the potatoes.

~ A weekend ahead...ready for this week to be over.

~ My spiced tea that my sister made me...it has warmed my tummy every morning this week.

~ Family vacation next week!

~ Cool mornings with my kids in their winter coats - looking like little eskimos.

Head on over to Becky's with a list of things you're thankful for...
