Happy Thanksgiving...

I love Thanksgiving. Its such a wonderful day to reflect on what I am truly thankful for. I want my kids to know what a special holiday this is. It seems that Thanksgiving just gets past by, it goes from Halloween right to Christmas. It drives me crazy. I have quite enjoyed my Thanksgiving decor and I'm sad to see it all go. Don't get me wrong I do love Christmas, I just wish we could all take time to really enjoy the one holiday that isn't about worldly things....just family and being thankful!! Oh, lets not forget the turkey and pie!!
So I asked Ashlynn what she was thankful for, this is what she said...
-My teddy bear
-My Family
-My Toys (of course!)
-My Bed
-My Pajamas' and Clothes
-That we have a House
-Myself (I think this one is very important)

I asked Mitch...
he said, "I don no" Then with a little help from his sister he said...
-Toys
-Bed
-Ball Game (he came up with that one on his own!)

I came up with 10 things I am thankful for. The list could have been a lot longer but I decided to just stick with 10, so here they are....
-My Husband
-My Kids
-My Family
-My Home
-The Gospel/Our Savior
-Our Freedom
-Girls Night Outs!
-Family Traditions
-Date Nights (when possible)
-My Friends

Normally we eat at my parents house for Thanksgiving, but this year we went to Quint and Jen's house. It turned out really nice. We had really good food and a lot of it!!! It was a really good day!









I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day....Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Looks like you guys had a great Thanksgiving. I am sure it was nice for your mom not to have to have it at her house.

It does seem like we just kind of go from Halloween to Christmas every year. But I sure love Christmas so that is okay with me.
