So I grew up in Canada where Thanksgiving has nothing to do with Pilgrims and Native Americans, BUT I LOVE American Thanksgiving. I love that it's not all about presents and/or chocolate!! I love all the stories and songs about the Mayflower and Plymouth rock (oh, and I learned about Squanto this year--I love that Jordan is expected to know things in 2nd grade that I have never heard of). Here is my list of things I am grateful for this year (of course I can't list all of them, but here are a few):
I am thankful for...
...my kids--they really are the best (and cutest) kids.
...my parents--I miss you guys every day.
...my hubby--seriously, he puts up with a lot and still loves me.
...my sisters--I wish I could hang out with you guys all day.
...a home to live in--hopefully I won't be homeless in a week:).
...our kitty--when she is not destroying my furniture or attacking my kids.
...our trampoline--which gives me time to watch Y&R.
...my kids' teachers--who put so much work into making my kids excited to learn.
...church--without it I would have no hope or peace.
...Ember who does my hair--did I mention I'm all blond again with a smokin' haircut:)
...my friends--who remind me that I am not only a wife and mother but a person too.
...my computer & interenet--seriously, do you think I could live without my daily fix of blogger and facebook?!.
...good tv--ahhh...Y&R, 90210, The Office, Lost.
...pictures--taking them , looking through them...remembering.
...good books--the ones that occupy too much of my time!
...restaurants--because sometimes I just DO NOT want to cook.
...a good night sleep--ever since having babies sleeping all night means SO much more!
...healthy kids--nough said.
...Target--where else would I blow off steam and spend all my money:)
...Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthdays...any reason to throw a party!!!

I love your thankful list. Its so real! LOL
I'd totally miss my family being so far away from them all the time. I don't know how you do it! But, sheesh California!! That's the ONLY way I'd do it! LOL
I love Kya's songs (she is so sweet singing them, too!)--Americans really know how to do Thanksgiving :)
I would imagine that you have one more thing to add to your thankful list: that you are no longer going to "homeless" in a week! Good luck with all that packing and the move to L.A.!!!
I thought Canada was part of America...you know, NAFTA and all that?
