i am glad for many things

sorry- forgot to publish this post a couple weeks ago!
"i am glad for many things"
that's the new hymn our family learned this past week from the primary hymnbook. in preparation for thanksgiving, we discussed blessings in our lives and what we are each thankful for. we made a turkey showing some of the things that we are glad for and that make us happy.

todd's hands say: work, football, family

jeanette's hands say: gospel, freedom, our home, talents

ellie's hands say: temples, books, nona & papa, snowman, animals, grandma karen & grandpa kent, toys & games

abby's hands say: naps, binkie, walking, blankie, food

we spent thanksgiving with my family this year. we ate way too much and had a lot of fun together.

 the spread. yes, there were 3 types of stuffing.

 and of all this, ellie would only eat the grapes!

my parents moved into their new home one month after we did and they already have nearly everything up on the walls and their boxes are unpacked. i'm jealous. they got our old family photos up in the basement just in time for thanksgiving. the grandchildren had a good time looking at all of them, especially those where papa had a mustache.
