The great author Charles Dickens wrote, "I love these little people, and it is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us." We were fortunate to chat with Julian, 9, Jeremiah, 5, and their mom, Jennifer about what they are thankful for. However big or small your wishes are for the holidays and approaching New Year, we sincerely hope you can embrace simplicity and innocence like the thankful heart of a child.
Julian & Jeremiah's Thankful List
1 Family. Both boys said mom and dad are the number one people to be thankful for because they are loved, make them food, and keep them safe.
2 Bike rides. Since Jeremiah got his training wheels off, he is thrilled to be riding free along with his mom, dad, and big brother.
3 Special birthday surprises. Getting a doughnut for breakfast in the shape of a number 5 was a special surprise for Jeremiah on his 5th birthday.
4 Books. Julian is thankful for the adventure and escape that books provide, especially his favorite, the "I Survived" non-fiction series.
5 Basketball and their teams. Both boys agreed they are thankful for their coaches and teams who show up to play together.
