This year for the Thanksgiving season I thought it would be fun to write down what we are thankful for each day onto some colorful leaves that we hung on a garland across our bar in the kitchen. It reached all the way across and was full of colorful thankful leaves. I think it made the holiday a little more meaningful. I can say that each one of us is thankful for our family. Each member of our family was mentioned like 5 times. I eventually had to encourage the kids to think of something different. But I am so glad that they love each other! Here is what made it up onto our thankful garland.

Dallin had to work on Thanksgiving so we stayed home again this year. He got off work at 6 pm so we had our big dinner then. The past few years the kids have not wanted to turkey so we cooked ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, green beans, stuffing, and apple pie. During the day we watched the Thanksgiving Day Parade and the dog show and went on a scavenger hunt and visited Dad at work. It was a good day. Over the weekend we got to feed some animals for a family in our ward while they were away visiting family. The kids loved it! They have a lot of animals! They have fish, 3 cats, 7 bunnies, two chicken coops full of chickens, a goose, 3 ponies, 1 horse, and a partridge in a pear tree.
