I love Thanksgiving Day! I love Thanksgiving break. I love having my boys home, doing crafts, cooking food, playing outside (when we have record breaking warm temps of 65 degrees? yes!) playing with family- it's all so great. This year for dinner, we went up to Robby and Lauren's house. They were decked out to the max with silver chargers (the plates, not electronics), chilled water bottles, crafts for the kids and a gorgeous turkey ready to eat. It was Fabulous. 
Wendy and Cindy arrived wearing matching vests and denim shirts, looking classy as ever. Robby photobombed the run way...
The kids went hunting for feathers and made headresses to wear.
Pa kept Cooper entertained as always
Hyrum and Bryson spent probably two hours shooting the cardboard turkey- it may or may not have to do with the fact that Pa stuck a $1 bill on the box and told them who ever shot it first got to keep it...:)
Lauren is the bestest hostess ever with a check list, labels for all the food, silverware in bundles and napkins folded like boats- oh, the food was all so delicious too!
Kristi got clever with her banana pie... just kidding, she put it together right before we ate it. It just looked so funny sitting with the other finished pies!
Speaking of pie... ummm, I made the pumpkin and the pecan, Mom made lemon meringue and apple, Kristi made banana cream and coconut cream. Yum!
And, my two little girls were matching in their new outfits... Sometimes I can't get enough of them!
We are so thankful for so many things! We had a lady "Sis Finch" come talk to the Relief Society the other night and her topic was gratitude. She said Don't think you'll be happy when you get something or do something- BE HAPPY NOW. Don't be a 'Why-ner" like "Why did this have to happen to me?" I made this little card for my VTing:
The Attitude of Gratitude: Choose to be Grateful, no matter what, and you will live in happiness. I feel like this can be my motto!
