happy thanksgiving

my mantle decorations are meager, since i've been busy making things for the bazaar, but i was happy to find these turkeys at a local party supply store, and the picture of the boys from last year looks awesome poster-size!
i have so much to be grateful for, and it's so nice to have a holiday to help us remember to count our blessings.
this year i'm especially grateful for:
my sweet, supportive husband
my three super lovie boys
my testimony, and it's potential to grow
my savior
our home
our new van
mr. o's steady job
our extended family
mine & my families health
my sewing room in progress

mr. o's list is similar, but i have to record the boys:

miles is grateful for his scooter, and for the pilgrims and military guys who fought for us

finn is grateful for dirt bikes, john deere tractors, mickey mouse and the color orange.

hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday!

I love that picture of the boys up on the mantle! I cant wait to see it poster size!
It's such a good feeling to think of all your grateful for, you have a great list.
It's so cute finn said he was grateful for the color Orange, we asked amelia what she was grateful for last week and she said blue, great minds think alike:)

Impressive on Miles' account, and I had to laugh with delight at Finn's! I agree with yours, naturally.
