100 Things We Are Thankful For

One of the first family home evening activities that we did was compile a list of 100 things we are thankful for. It was really good for us to do that at the time, because we were in the middle of medical adventures with MRSA and John started getting sick. So it was a good reminder for us of how incredibly blessed we are. (but you'll notice a theme of being grateful for modern medicine...it's been a big help!!)

So, here it goes!
