Thanksgiving 2014

A couple days before Thanksgiving, the children made thank you cards for their Primary teachers and we delivered them along with a treat.

Thomas delivering to Sister Butt and Sister Oleson

Emma delivered to her teachers, Brother and Sister Waters but I couldn't get a clear picture of her on the dark evening.

Thanksgiving morning with these cuties. It was the first year we had our very own Thanksgiving in our own home with our little family.

The children made cute little table displays to hold name tags as well as candy turkeys.

This is what our family room looked like all Thanksgiving day long. LEGOS, LEGOS, LEGOS! I had to lay down a lot through out the day because of on going contractions...but it was  nice.

Thank you to Derek for all the help in preparing the wonderful food. We made our very first turkey ever! :)

Grandma and Grandpa Phair came over later that evening and joined us on an outing to the gas station to drop off pies to the employees who have to work on Thanksgiving.

We ended the day with a fort in Thomas and Emma's bedroom where they slept that night. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am mostly thankful for this cute bunch I get to be with forever. I'm grateful for how patient and loving they are with me. 

At the beginning of the month for Family Home Evening, we put together a 'Gratitude Tree" in our family room and cut out some leaves to write things we're thankful for throughout the month.

Thomas started out that he's thankful for Jesus.

 Joseph is thankful for Prayer. During family prayer, he's always the first one folding his arms reverently. :)

 This was our tree by the end of the month. We do have so much to be thankful for.
