Giving Thanks

We had our "We are Thankful" family home evening lesson on the first Monday of November. We put up this tree and everyday each family member puts up a "thankful leaf" with something they are thankful for written on it. Here is how our tree looks as of today!

Thanks to our Father we will bring. For He gives us everything.


For what are you giving thanks this holiday season?

Let Us Give Thanks

A couple of weeks before Thanksgiving we had a family home evening on being thankful. We colored these turkeys and on each feather we listed the things we were especially thankful for this year. Here are just a few of the things we are each thankful for.

Mommy's Turkey

I am thankful for: family, friends, health, the gospel

Daddy's Turkey (Madelynne helped Daddy color)

Daddy is thankful for: his children, Jesus Christ, his job, baseball

Madelynne's Turkey (she colored it "all on my own")

Madelynne is thankful for: church, Evie-my best friend, duckie blanket, Ariel

Jackson's Turkey (colored by Mommy)

We all helped Jackson think of what he was thankful for and Madelynne came up with most of them. This is what Madelynne thought Jackson was thankful for: doctor friend, his bottles, clothes, sookie, car seat.

We are so blessed this is just a small glimpse of how grateful we are this Thanksgiving.
