Thankful Tree

 We have so many things our family is grateful for that we started to write them down and place them on our Thankful Tree during the month of November.  Our tree started out pretty sad looking until we added our thankful tags and watched it grow!!
Every morning I would ask the boys what they were thankful for, then I would make our tags.  Here are some of their responses..... Thankful for Grandparents: Grandpa Ron, Grandma Mindy, Grandpa & Grandma Cottrell
 The weather, U.S.A, our House, School, Trees, Family, Animals, Cars, Phones to call family and friends, The Church, Mom and Dad, The whole World, Being Healthy, Lights, Scriptures, Work...Dad's job, Books, Good things to drink, Food, Warm Clothes, Friends, Toys, Treats, and Temples


We had fun making our thankful tree.  For Thanksgiving we were able to have Nate's two sisters and their families over for the Big Turkey dinner.  I roasted a turkey and made the potatoes and gravy and everyone else brought yummy sides like stuffing, green salad, rolls, corn, sparkling apple and grape juice, ice cream dessert, pie and other trimmings to feast on.  It was a great time with everyone.  We ate, flipped through Black Friday ads, ate some more and just chilled, exactly what you are supposed to do on a Thanksgiving Day!!
