Unfortunately our Thanksgiving plans changed due to the weather and bad roads. Instead of being able to go to Hamer we ended up having Thanksgiving at our house with Doug and Kathryn joining us. It was a nice dinner, although we greatly missed being able to be with the rest of the family. We had mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, rolls, grean bean casserole, cranberry jello salad, homemade cranberry sauce, and of course the turkey that we raised (he weighed 28 lbs undressed)...it was all so delicious and we ate more than we should, but that is what Thanksgiving is for! We let the food settle by playing Wii and perusing the Black Friday ads. Then onto dessert--layered pumpkin dessert, Matt's lemon meringue pie, pumpkin roll, and apple pie. YUM! It was a great day despite the change in plans!
I am grateful that we have this holiday to remind us all that we have to be grateful for in our lives. I am grateful for my boys and the joy they bring into my life, for my wonderful husband and all he does to provide for our family, and for both of our families and the love and support that they give us. I am grateful to have a nice, warm home to live in, and for the opportunity that we have to raise animals and teach our boys how to work. I am grateful for my testimony and for the Gospel in my life. Most importantly I am grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ.

We're glad you guys were able to have a good and safe Thanksgiving--it sounds like it was yummy!
