Our Thanksgiving List

Happy Thanksgiving! We hope everyone is having a great holiday!  We thought we would spend a minute to record some of the things we are thankful for this year. We have to keep it short because it is noon and we haven't even started cooking!  We miss all of our family and friends far away and wish you a happy day and a full belly.

Jonathan and Christina are thankful for six wonderful years together. 
They are thankful for two adorable and hilarious kids--precious joys who light up their lives!
They are thankful for a (finally) completed dissertation. Hooray!
And Christina is particularly thankful for a washer and dryer. After living without one for 10 years, she promises never to take it for granted again!


When we asked Ezra what he is thankful for, this is what he said: 

His dad...

His mommy...

Annika, his best friend...

Lions ("ROAR!")...

Milk...

and Jesus.
Annika is thankful for (as far as we can guess):

Things she can climb on.
Goodnight Moon. Which happens to be the one and only book she likes.
Milk. Lots and lots of milk.
Her best bud Ezra. These two give each other near constant entertainment.
ELMO!! Annika can spot an Elmo from miles away. She doesn't say a lot of words, but she never misses an opportunity to yell out "Eh-mol" whenever she sees him.
