We are thankful

Tonight we had our annual Thanksgiving-themed Family Home Evening.
We talked about the origins of the holiday and counted our blessings.


These are some of my biggest blessings:





We made a Thankful Tree. On each leaf (there are 40) we wrote something
for which we are thankful. After we hung the tree on the wall and got ready for bed,
we started noticing lots of things that should have been on our tree.
Toothbrushes! Beds! Sweatshirts! The list goes on.






We are looking forward to a scrumptious Thanksgiving feast with friends on Thursday. Yum!
