Happy Thanksgiving!!

I love Thanksgiving! What a great holiday to remember what we are grateful for and to eat (*tons) of delicious food!! The Sunday before Thanksgiving we had a great Family Home Evening about being thankful. We went around the room and each said things we were thankful for. It was neat to hear the ideas the kids came up with! I actually typed them up as they were said and throughout the week we added more to our list!
