Thanksgiving

Well I'm obviously a little behind, but I thought I'd take a moment to capture our Thanksgiving day. This year, we started a new tradition. I took all of the kids leftover Halloween candy & we made a gratitude turkey. We filled a jar with the candy, pasted turkey feathers along the edges, and added a gobbley turkey face to the front. Before the kids could have a piece of candy, they had to take a feather & write down something they were greatful for. It was fun to hear all of the things that are special to them, and it was nice to keep a spirit of gratitude in our home. We spent Thanksgiving day with grandma & grandpa. We celebrated Grandma's 80th birthday, ate a delicious meal, prayed together, laughed together, and layed around on the beach together. It was an absolutely perfect day.
