Wrapping this month up is bitter sweet, I love November and I love December even more.
A few things that I am thankful for, that I have not been able to touch on yet.

My in laws, I always have a good time when we are able to get together and sometimes makes me sad that we don't see each other more.
I had an intention of going down the list and listing all the wonderful things about every single one of them, but for time unfortunately I couldn't be more blessed with the wonderful in laws I have. I love Ben's sisters they each have such wonderful qualities. I am also so lucky to have so many other brothers, I grew up with one brother and always wanted another brother and I got 5 of them when I married Ben. All of them crack me up and make me smile in there own way. I love their wives, we are so lucky to have one another and miss everyone so much.

I am thankful for my father in law, he is such a personable person, I love the talks we have and insight he has into many situations.
I am also thankful for my mother in law, she is always thinking of others and works her fanny off when we are all together and loves the grandchildren and always has wonderful things for them.

I am so glad I had the opportunity this month to reflect on the things I am thankful for, the last thing for the month is my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It grounds me and has taught me what is really important in life, I love to serve others and am so thankful for the callings I have had, they each in there own way have taught me much.

So for the month of Christmas the gratitude will be much for my Savior, His humble birth, the blessings I am blessed with and the opportunity to live on this earth at this time.
