Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving day in Sandy with Aunt Lanna, Uncle Scott and their kids Makayla, Dylan and Bradyn. The day's activities were pretty classic: the kids disapeared and played all day, lots of good food, visiting and football. The kids and I made little turkeys, although I ended up having to use the hot glue gun and doing most of it myself. The big dinner was delicious, although it was undoubtedly the fastest Thanksgiving feast we've ever had:) The kids planned a huge 'party' and Lanna and I were invited. Brent introduced Ryan to football and Lanna and I scouted out the deals in the Black Friday ads.

But when I think back to this Thanksgiving I'm going to remember how Laura cried the whole way home because she wanted to say and live forever at Makayla's house. Makayla is 7 years old and Laura's idol. She's such a sweetheart and loves to play with Laura. They both love princesses and anything magical. It really hurt my feelings when Laura told me that she loved me a little but she loved Kayla a lot and she wanted to live with her instead. I thought I had a few more years before my little girl didn't want me anymore!

p.s. this is a picture our family thankful turkey. The first week in November we made him for FHE and counted down the days until Turkeyday by writing down things we were thankful for. Some of my favorites: Eden is grateful for her bed, Laura is grateful for Teacher Brittney and the kids in her preschool class, Brent for his mountain bike, and I'm grateful that Ryan is sleeping about 8 hrs pretty consistently at night!
