I think my title sums up what I am grateful for. I love Jessa she is definitely my everything, my sunshine, my teacher, and my example. Jessa is a wonderful little girl and Heavenly Father has blessed me beyond anything I could ever imagine with Jessa. or as Jessa likes to say her name "Dessa". Halloween was a fun day with Jessa and she taught me to remember to view the excitement of holidays through a child's eyes. Mr. hubbins decided that he really wanted to be the McDonald's combo meal for Halloween and I liked the uniqueness of it and so I thought that it was a great idea even though I wasn't excited to be dressed up as a hamburger. After Jonathan's citizenship celebration with mom and Terry in tow we headed over to Walmart's portrait studio where we took our yearly family photo. Have you been to our house? If not in our dining room you will find 3 photos on the wall all from last year's halloween when we were Pirates of the Caribbean. Soon these photos will be replaced with our combo meal costumes. When we first arrived at the studio Jessa was asleep and was flopped over for most of the pictures she isn't smiling in any of the photos but after as the workers played music for her and we danced in the portrait studio we had a lot of fun as she rocked out to the spice girls, a teens and a bunch of other music they had. We headed over to McDonald's in our costumes and took lots of pictures with workers and customers.
One reason that makes me love Jessa is her acceptance of others... one day we will have to teach her stranger danger... but on this day she willingly was passed around so we could be in pictures for the people around. I love that she allowed us to put her in her costume and had fun in doing so. I love Jessa's squeal and laughter as she tromped around holding hands with daddy and "ama" as they walked throughout the store having so much fun. We came home and Jessa jumped in her jolly jumper. I love seeing the light in her eyes through her laughter and happiness I am really grateful to be her mom.
But as I didn't want to dress up as a hamburger again (it was embarrassing lol) so
I put Jessa in a zebra costume for trick or treating. I grabbed her a little bucket we had gotten on one of our mommy adventures and she was such a pro at trick or treating. I love that she so easily caught on to ring the door bell and hold out her bucket for the candy. It made the night so special to remember the excitement a child feels as you experience the joy through their eyes.
So today I am grateful that Heavenly Father gave me the gift to have Jessa as my daughter. I love you my baby forever and always.

I thought your McDonald Meal costumes were AWESOME! I'm sad that McDonald's didn't step up and give you all free meals. That was the coolest thing ever.
And oh my...isn't Jessa the cutest little Zebra ever. You are so right.....celebrating the holidays through a child's eyes make them all so much sweeter and fun!
