Our Thanksgiving weekend actually starts Wednesday night with The Pie pizza followed by a movie which was The Christmas Carol this year. My family has done this for as long as I can remember! Thanks mom and dad for an awesome night!
Thursday morning we slept in a little longer and lazzied around a bit until the early afternoon and then we went and saw The Blind Side....loved, loved it! After the movie we went to my Grandma's house for a delicious Thanksgiving feast! She is the most amazing cook which always results in overeating......yummy! Thanks Grandma! Later that evening we put the 3 little ones to bed and me, Curtis and Mitchell went and saw New Moon! A perfect way to end a perfect day! Fischer stay home and watched the Broncos game and the Jazz game!
Friday morning Curtis got up and went and did some Christmas shopping while I made 125 relief society invitations...whew, glad that's done! Then we went to a funeral for a wonderful person, Melody Hart. I loved hearing her children speak about what an amazing mother, grandmother, etc. she was. Made me want to be a better person just hearing how much love she gave to everyone, especially her family. She will be missed. After the funeral we ran a few errands and ended the evening eating dinner at The Training Table!
This morning my mom came and picked up the kids and took them to her house to decorate their gingerbread houses which is another tradition we do every year that we love. Emma made it plain and clear that I was not to help her one bit. I ended up staying home and started pulling out some of the Christmas decorations! Love this time of year! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year and had much to be thankful for.
I have so much to be thankful for this year. We have been so blessed and I feel so fortunate for all that I have. Some of the things I am most grateful for this year include:
my dedicated husband
my 5 children
my home
health insurance
my husband's job
the gospel
doctors/hospitals/medicine
family/relatives
great friends
safe neighborhood
loving ward
my Savior
Life is a blessing!
