Month of Thanks - post 10

Today I am thankful:

• that my sister, Rachel, and my mom had me and the girls over for breakfast.  It's nice to spend time with them and also not have to worry about preparing food.
• for Music Makers (toddler music group that is every Tuesday).  Lily really loves it and even though Aveline is only 8 months old she gets into it sometimes too.  There was only one other lady there today with her 14-month old daughter, but it was kind of nice to have a little group like that because normally it is much bigger (and I was leading the group for the first time today, so it made it much less intimidating for me).
• that Rachel came with us to Music Makers.  It's nice when she comes so we can each take a kid, but it was especially nice to have her there today since I was leading.
• that I decided to make pumpkin dip for the Relief Society activity tonight.  It looked like not very many people had signed up to bring food and I had recently gotten a pumpkin dip recipe from Rachel, so I thought that would be a fast easy thing I could make.  It turned out to be a big hit!  Several people asked me for the recipe.
• that I was able to go to the Relief Society activity.  It was a fun night!
• that a friend offered to drive to the activity.  It's nice to be able to talk to someone while you're driving and also not waste the extra gas, make more pollution, etc. of driving separate cars.
• that Matt fixed the light in our backyard, and that it turns out it just needed a new light bulb and not something more difficult to fix.  It's nice to be able to see out there when it's night time.
• that Aveline is slowly but surely starting to eat more food.  Yesterday morning she ate an entire thing of baby yogurt.  That's the first time she's ever eaten an entire container of anything.
• that Lily's mattress is waterproof.  She peed in bed yesterday and it was very nice to be able to simply wipe off the mattress and put new sheets on it.
