Tuesday’s Top Three

HURRY!!  It’s the LAST day to enter the giveaway!!  Go here now!!
I’m totally cheating today!!  Here’s something you should know about me.  I cheated once BIG time in the fourth grade.  I felt so bad about it.  I turned myself in.  My mom made me confess to the teacher.  It was horrible, and I never really “cheated” on tests again.  It stuck with me!!  (I’m not counting homework in college.  That’s another post altogether. )  

My Top Three today is all about the things I’m thankful for!  I have WAY more than three things…so maybe today we should call it, “Tuesday’s Top Thirty”.  ha!  This year I tried to participate in posting one thing every day I was thankful for on instagram.  I think I stopped on day three!  I couldn’t remember!!  I went back through my phone and found random pictures from the month of November.  Some are serious and some are NOT!  So…here are my top twenty!!  In no particular order…

These sweet kiddos and I’m SO thankful God chose me to be their mommy!

Thankful for an AMAZING family!!  My cousin, Ty, and his wife, Morgan, came down this weekend.  Ty makes furniture and he made Nixon some AWESOME bunk beds!  We had a blast hanging out with them for a few days.  I think they should move closer for us.  ðŸ˜‰  

I have no recent pictures of my parents, grandparents, or Tab’s family on the i-phone!  But…we are SO thankful for our families.  They are the BEST!  We’re looking forward to lots of visits over Christmas!

Hope you have a GREAT Thanksgiving week and are truly reminded of all you have to be thankful for as well!  Happy Tuesday!

    I think this might be your best post EVER! I'm so thankful for you Erika! Seriously…when you go out of town for a few days and I don't have you to talk to every 10 minutes…I'm lost. I am so thankful God brought you into MY life! Love you!
