Mom and Boys: bacon
that smells amazing
Dad and Girls: vanilla
Mom and Boys: cinnamon
That has been hard for me
Megan: goalball ("It is fun, but sometimes it hurts.")
Michael: allergies ("I have learned things because of them.")
Nathan: Jumping off the diving board for the first time ("I was so scared to jump off hte diving board for the first time, but once I did I had so much fun in the pool.")
Liz: goalball and school
Mom: vision ("As hard as it is sometimes, we have received many blessings; a closer family and we have been blessed by the service of others." The best part of sharing this though was when Liz said, "I didn't even think of that." This is just another example of how she faces challenges with optimism and joy. Something that is a definite challenge doesn't feel hard to her because of her attitude towards it.)
Dad: callings ("They can be hard, but they help us learn and give us the opportunity to serve.")

It was a wonderful opportunity to take time to think about what we are grateful for. I love how the list include the big, important things, and it also included the little everyday things that bring us joy. It was special to have some insight into the kids thoughts too.
