Thanks

So the other night I was sitting at the table with the kids doing a little art project. I started talking about things I was thankful for and asked Kora and Kaas what they were thankful for. Kora started and said she was thankful for her grandmas and grandpas and her friends and her uncles and aunts. Kaas just said what ever Kora said which cracked me up. Anyways as the kids were winding down their lists I thought to myself..... What! They haven't said they are thankful for Jordan and I. So I started to ask are you sure you aren't thankful for anybody else and Kora looked at me and said Nope that is it! Man being a parent is soooo overrated! Just kidding, I know they are thankful for us but my goodness sometimes it hurts to be a parent.


On a different note..... Kora had the opportunity to go to Disney on Ice with her Aunt Carla. Carla and her husband are missionaries in a Spanish ward downtown anyways one of the families they have grown to love has recently lost their house and is currently living out of the homeless shelter. Well back to my story.... Carla brought two of the little girls with her along with Kora. After the preshow party Carla took the kids to they were handing out Disney coloring books. Carla took the book and played a game to choose which girl would get it. Kora was chosen and saw the look in the other girls eyes and turned around and gave the coloring book to one of the girls. When Kora got home that night and was telling me about her fun time she mentioned that to me and I just teared up. I can't believe my little girl thougth to do that. I am so proud of her for knowing the right thing to do.
