[January 10, 2012] Thankful for...the Golden Girls - our volleyball team won all three games tonight!  And of course we had to go out for coffee and goodies afterwards! :)

[January 9, 2012] Thankful for...a cup of hot cocoa. I watched a little bit of the Bachelor and of course the BCS Championship game with LSU v. Alabama...pretty boring game though with 5 field goals and 1 touchdown...all by the same team! :(  Oh well, it was still football though!

[January 8, 2012] Thankful for...games with the family. It was Scott's last night home before he went back to school, so we played a game called "Boxers or Briefs?"  It was super fun, and we had some great laughs! :)

[January 7, 2012] Thankful for...football with the family!  We went over to my Aunt Joan and Uncle Bear's house to watch the Lions play the Saints.  The Lions did well for a while (even leading at half), but ending up losing...oh well, they had a good season though!

[January 6, 2012] Thankful for...baking!  I love baking, and thought I'd make these football cookies for the Lions-Saints game tomorrow...yum!

[January 5, 2012] Thankful for...sunsets.  I'm sure I will be posting many more of these throughout the year!  We have a great view out of our backyard, so all I have to do is walk about 20 feet, and I'm able to see this!!

[January 4, 2012] Thankful for...Christmas gifts!  Scott and I love the show "Psych" and we now have all the seasons, thanks to my Christmas present from Scott!  We have been trying to watch all the episodes from this season before he goes back to school, and today we got 2 closer to the end!

[January 3, 2012] Thankful for...my job.  I love my job at the Holland Early Childhood Center - the people I work with are wonderful, and the kids are amazing!  Today was our first day back from Christmas break...

[January 2, 2012] Thankful for...MSU football.  If you know me well enough you know that I am an MSU fanatic...I love anything MSU (for Christmas, I received an MSU pillowpet, MSU Basketball poster, and MSU coasters for my car!)  Today was the Outback Bowl between MSU and Georgia - it was such an exciting game, going into triple OT, with MSU winning 23-20...whew! :)  Now on to MSU basketball...

[January 1, 2012] Thankful for...photo albums.  Today I put away a bunch of pictures into my photo albums - I had been procrastinating for quite a while as I had to put away about a year's worth of them! :)  I love looking through my photo albums and seeing all the different things my family and I have been able to do and go see.

Alrighty, here we go! Here are the first few pictures from this year so far...I'm excited to share these pictures with you, and I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I like taking them! :) Thanking God for the ability to capture these little pieces of each day...
