We celebrated Jason's mother's 61st birthday yesterday.  They live about an hour away from us in Park City, Utah and we love heading up the canyon to visit regularly.  In the Hall Family tradition, we all went around the table to tell the birthday person why we love her.  I love my mother-in-law Sophia for many reasons but at this time in my life I love her the most because I know what a wonderful grandmother she will be to our little guy.  She and my father-in-law love him already and I know that they will have a special relationship with him simply because they are so good at making the effort to do so.The Halls have all gotten a little bit of a late start with the grandchildren thing so as a family we have only three so far with two on the way next year.  But I can't wait to see what unfolds for the only grandchild in our family that will live in the same state with their Grandma and Grandpa Hall.  They are so good at supporting us in all we do, they are the biggest cheerleaders we have.  Their capacity to love is astounding and already extends to this new baby.  Today I am grateful for my in-laws...who don't feel like in-laws at all, but parents and friends.As I think about why I am grateful for Sophia, it's difficult to pinpoint one thing - I have so many reasons to be thankful for her.  She is my inspiration for today's download - I am offering "Many Thanks" to her and I know that you have people in your life that deserve the same.Enjoy the various color choices I gave you this time - there is something for everyone in today's download.  You can create thank you notes in every color or even place cards.  Also, consider mounting it to the front of a card, including the year "2008", and adding last week's downloadable "Gratitude List" to the inside.  It would make a fabulous party favor and activity for your whole family to participate in then take home.  I would also love it just made into a quote card to remind me to be grateful each day.What do you offer "many thanks" for this year?
