I'm thankful for my baby granddaughter, Andrina. My son and his wife said they never wanted children, but after 7 years, they changed their minds. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I am thankful for having two amazing little boys who impress and amazing me daily.
What little thing am I thankful for? Finding money in my coat pocket from the winter before. That and the coupon you left in your wallet on an off chance you'd use it and you *do*.
I'm thankful for pre-sticky stamps. So glad I don't have to lick them!
Thankful to beat my 1:00:00 10K wall that I've been chasing all year- this morning's race is official at 58:14! Now thankful that I can eat cake later!
I am thankful for being so blessed as to know and learn from Julian Szmidt, my water polo coach who passed away this Halloween. He was a great coach with tons of hilarious, sarcastic, snarky comeback which I think that you, Jen, would have loved. I am thankful for knowing him and learning form him, both in water polo and life.
A warm house, the Sunday paper and COFFEE!
I am thankful for my kids who can make me laugh on difficult days...even if they're the reason I'm having a difficult day! :D
I'm so very grateful to live with a husband and daughter who never forget the importance of a sense of humor. We were able to laugh our way through a 5 day blackout this month and that's not nothin'.
I am thankful for my new baby nephew!
I might be disqualified for this, but I've never been very good at following rules. I won't be sharing one little thing I'm thankful for, but three things of varying size.
1. I am grateful to be part of a family that is as wacky as I am. So wacky that we had
a wedding for our ducks yesterday.
2. I am thankful that you made it safely out of Texas, I mean back home to Florida. (I am not sucking up to win a book. I am not! I'm already disqualified for breaking the rules, remember?)
3. I am delighted beyond reasonable measure that the "Going to Disney to see Cinderella" cake is for a 21 year old!
I am grateful for lazy, rainy Sunday mornings filled with hot cups of tea and good books.
I am thankful for family.
Fun times with family and friends, going back to work after a 7 month long injury, my husband and dog.
I'm thankful I get to teach for a living. Working with kids is a fantastic calling in life!
( I'm loving that little dragon cake, btw!)
Mint Milanos and my beautiful loves, which are my 3 nieces, Chloe, Taylor and Alexa, and my nephew Thomas!
We are thankful for wonderful Sundays spent together as a family....and Sunday Sweets :)
One of my favorite things? D&D night with the guys, and the free pizza too!
Or bowties and fezzes on my favorite show..
And Portal on the xbox, I just got that too..
So being a geek has got to be my favorite thing!
I am thankful for my 3 wonderful children - they've grown up into amazing adults and I am so very proud of them!!
I'm thankful for just about everything, friends, a sound home, cakewrecks, and other plentiful amenities. I'm especially thankful for living, which I came very close to not having six years ago. I'm also very thankful for my brother, Jake, His daughter, and my parents.
Love to you all,
-Baylee
I love the little dragon!! . . . and lovely stories of dragons!
I'm thankful for my sweet family. God has been so good to us. We will be together this year for the holiday.
What a great post! I love that lizard, and the line about dragons with tiny wings. Please to be patting yourself on the back. I am thankful for finding a fiver on the sidewalk this morning!
I'm thankful for cameras.
Without them, my best friend wouldn't be able to send me pictures of his new baby boy, My mother wouldn't be able to see the work i'm doing here in the middle east , and millions of cakes would have their wreckiness go to waste without ever having been able to be shared here on cake wrecks.com!
One of my favorite things: warm pajama pants straight from the dryer on a chilly day :)
I am thankful that my boyfriend drinks his coffee sweet and I drink mine bitter--it means never having to share my cup on a Sunday morning. I'm also thankful that he makes mine perfectly (as I do his).
I'm thankful for family, willing to drive for 13 hours, to come and visit for Thanksgiving! And also for the sweet family that's close by that visits whenever, just because. :)
I'm thankful for my little granddaughters, Allie & Emma, and for my really little granddaughter, Maggie, who will be born in just a few weeks!
The moment before going to bed, I sneak into my year-and-a-half old son's room and cover him up. I am thankful for these sweet sweet moments as they fly by!
I am grateful for my in-laws. I feel incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful family, even if I wasn't lucky enough to be born into it.
I'm thankful for my boyfriend, who is graciously staying in town with me this Thanksgiving, since I have to work and cannot travel.
I am thankful that my husband was quick with the baggie on the ferry and caught the dog's puke before it sprayed on me.
One "little thing" I'm thankful for... Directv and newscorp reaching an agreement, so I can keep watching American Horror Story!
I'm thankful for my little sister. We are eight years apart and in very different places in our life, not to mention we are so different, but hanging out with her really brightens my day, especially recently- I've really needed it. <3
My favorite thing is my 2 yo grandson, watching him from birth to now has been both a blessing and hysterical LOL
I am thankful for my good friends and good food and how often they bring me joy.
I'm thankful for my hubby of 43.5 years, who is seeing me through some really tough physical problems... For my stalwart son, who is there whenever I need a strong heart and an arm to lean on... For my beautiful daughter, who has taken over Thanksgiving cooking while I cannot.. And for two strong and healthy grandsons (one turned *18* today!) who make me proud to be their Gram...
I am thankful for being able to spend time with my husband and son. I am thankful to be healthy, but able to see a doctor if I need to. I am thankful for having a full time job.
I truly am most grateful for my husband and my children. And Mocha lattes.
I am thankful for big, warm hugs from my husband after a long and stressful day!
Thankful for husbands who cook!!!
I'm thankful for my son, who has taught me how to persevere when things seem impossible by showing me it's possible. I'm thankful for books that I can escape into when necessary. I'm thankful for everything chocolate (especially brownies). And I'm thankful for all the new colors of nail polish and eye liner that make things a little more fun.
Bubble baths :)
I'm thankful for readily available access to clean water.
I am super thankful for my amazing husband who gets up with the kids every Saturday so I can have a sleep in. :)
I'm grateful for the NEW friends I have made on the internet this year.
I'm thankful for working in dimly lit rooms on mornings when I'm slumming it. (I'm a massage therapist) :-D
I am thankful for another day that God has given me to be with my friends and family!!
and @nutcase68 , I am praying for you!!
I am thankful for people who can make a joke, take a joke and flourish in doing what they are meant to do. I am a college professor and I am always astounded at the way they overcome anxieties and self doubt in order to put themselves out there. I am thankful for their courage to be themselves- even if they end up as professional Wreckerators!
Totally thankful for Cake Wrecks helping me feel better about my decorating abilities. As an apprentice, this site make me laugh, and cry and occasionally snort things out of my nose. But more than that, *Sorry, Jen. Not my number 1* I'm thankful for my beautiful kids who inspire me everyday to get up and keep moving on. And thankful for Jesus. He's a cool guy. :)
