Of course, I am full of gratitude for my girl today. But more specifically, I'm thankful for my kids and how they can be really sweet to each other. The boys know it's Lauren's special day, so they were anxious for her to wake up and help her open her presents. They argued about who would help her put together a new LEGO set. Lauren is basking in the attention and knows exactly how to take advantage of her special status. She's saying things like, "It's my birthday, so I get to decide who builds what!" It's all in good spirits. Things aren't always this way, but I like how my little family can rally around each other on special occasions.
