Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving! We ended up staying at home, with just the five of us. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law, and my sister both invited us over, but we declined this year. We had a great day of playing games, cooking dinner, going on a REALLY short walk (it was sooo cold!), and just goofing around together. We had a blast!
Kinley, showing off her "Turkey"
Kaden was the first one up. He helped me get the turkey ready and in the oven.

Showing off their hard work. They made the name tags, center piece and they set the table. They were a lot of help!

The kids played the computer for a little bit together. They played NICELY together ALL DAY. It was so nice!
I have a lot to be Thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful, gentle, kind and loving husband. He is my best friend. I am thankful for our 3 wonderful children. I am thankful for my family, and my extended family, my friends, my home. I am very grateful at this time of year for the gospel and the things it brings into my life.
Now that Thanksgiving is over...BRING ON CHRISTMAS!! I am one of those that don't like Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving...but after that meal is done...up goes Christmas! Turn on your lights and enjoy it! I love the Christmas lights and the Christmas music. I love this time of year that we can remember Christ's birth and all he has done for us. What a wonderful time of the year!!

Sounds like a fun day for you! Ours was good too. You had the cutest crafts for the kids to do. One of these days we might have a small quiet thanksgiving too!
