Thanksgiving week recap

Micah had a Thanksgiving "feast" at school. The second graders all sang songs and put on a program for the parents. They also made all the decorations for the cafeteria. Micah's class made these cute pumpkins out of panty hose. We were a little worried when we were asked to send in a pair, but relieved to see how they were used!
Micah did such a great job. His class sang a Thanksgiving song to the tune of "Gilligan's Island." Not that he knew what the "Gilligan's Island" music sounds like. I mean, I'm barely old enough to remember.
We made these indian corn sugar cookies at joy school. I had found the idea in an old Family Fun issue.
Thanksgiving morning. This is my turkey crew. Dudi always cooks the turkey. The boys have turned into his turkey apprentices-their wives will thank me someday.

The turkey.

We had a couple families over for dinner. All the food was so delicious!

Our family has so much to be thankful for. Each other, good friends, the gospel, and our country (just to name a few!).

Hope yours was great too!

Thankful

I crashed last night before I could do my Thanksgiving post. With all the Thanksgiving day festivities, we were all worn out by the end of the day.

The kids did tell me the things they were grateful for.

Micah-

1. family
2. Jesus
3. x box
   
4. grandma's and pa's
5. swimming pools (it is the South, that gets my vote too)
6. friends
7. home

Asher-

1. Jesus and Heavenly Father
2. mom and dad
3. Micah
4. Liv
5. Grandma's and pa's
6. toys (with a list of favorite ones that I will spare everyone from)
   
7. swimming pools (I think he stole that one from Micah)

Liv (if she could talk, I'm sure this would be her list)-

1. Backpack (monkey backpack)
2. mom and dad
3. Brothers (that I can tease)
4. flowers (that I can pull out of mom's flower boxes)
5. dolls (LOVES the baby doll section of toy stores)
6. food
   

Here is a list, in no particular order of a few of the things I'm grateful for (Dudi echo's most of mine).

1. A wonderful husband who works so hard for our family and makes me laugh constantly
2. The Savior
   
3. My beautiful children
   
4. Health
   
5. That I can be a stay at home mom
   
6. Parents and grandparents (Dudi's included) who are good role models and always supportive
   
7. Siblings who made growing up fun
8. A country where I'm free
9. That I can walk into a store now and not cringe because of all the Christmas music playing and displays set up
   
10. That it is the Christmas season now
11. Good friends (25 of them spent Thanksgiving with us-It was awesome)
12. That a new season of 24 is just around the corner (had to throw that one in)
    

I could go on about the many blessings in my life, but I will wrap it up here (my children are running in to attack me now). I truly do have so much to be grateful for.
