More Thanksgiving Fun!

We have been trying to squeeze as much Thanksgiving fun in as we can before the big day comes and goes! We have been thankful for the time we have taken as a family to think about all of our blessings this Thanksgiving season!
We played some fun rounds of "Don't Eat Tom!"
We made Indian headbands and played a fun turkey alphabet game.
For part of the game the kids had to act like turkey's.

Today Adam had a Thanksgiving Feast at school! I love helping out in his class!

Adam and his soccer buddy!
A final look at our Tom the Turkey. He got lots of feathers this year and there are many more that we could add. This week Tessa added "pancakes" to her "chocolate pudding" and "marshmallow" feathers. I love what the kids come up with!
We realize how blessed we are as a family and are so grateful that we have each other and that we get to be together forever! Eric and I feel so blessed to be parents and realize what a blessing that truly is. We couldn't ask for anything more than our beautiful children! I am so thankful for Eric and the wonderful man, husband, and father that he is. I seriously hit the jackpot with him and I will never know what I did to get so lucky! He is my rock and my best friend and I love him like crazy!
We as a family are so thankful for the gospel and our Savior and for the foundation that gives our family. I am thankful that we have the truth and that I am able to teach my children that we have a loving Heavenly Father and Savior. We are so thankful for the Atonement and for the chance we have to repent and change. That is the greatest blessing of all!
I could go on and on. Our families, our parents, our jobs, Jodi:), all the things I take for granted....my list might never end. I am thankful as always for this season and the chance it gives me personally and us as a family to remember how truly blessed we are!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
