Every year we take time as a family to write down things that we're thankful for and this year we tried to come up with 108 things for 2008. When it was just Taylor and myself the list was pretty straight forward. With help from the kids the list has certainly become a little more entertaining... I attempted to keep a general priority level in place near the beginning of the list, but "Horses" (#10) still ended up ahead of "Jesus" (#12) and "Candy" (#37) came in quite a bit ahead of "Our Pastor" (#65).
