Thankful in November

November was a nice month. We had an FHE lesson at the beginning of the month about gratitude/thankfulness, so that helped us to bring a more grateful spirit into our home. This year we did a door of Thankfulness. Throughout the month we added pictures/descriptions of things we are thankful for.

 The details are kind of hard to see, but the kids drawing were cute!

This is what we had on our door for 2014. Over 100 things! 

turkey, raspberries, presents, rain and rainbows, my family, butterflies, cats, science, friends, ocean, prophets, Christmas trees, blankets, police, helicopter, un-baked, cookies, Halloween, water, fireworks, candy, terraria, Sky the fish, seasons, music, shapes, snow, joy, books, Lego Star Wars game, smiles, Box Car Children book, leaves, temple, the piano, foxes, education, people, bees, priesthood, paper, minions, bikes, balloons, horses, computers, peace, work, brains, a comfy place to sleep, flowers, babies, rolls, the earth, our house, running, the woods, our country, the alphabet, hamburgers, monkeys, pumpkins, orange chicken, birds, Christmas, STEM club, Santa, porcupines, light, shoes, Legos, parks, clothes, doors, deer, dolphins, pizza, Lily, Zach, Anwyn, Dad, Mom, watches, T.V., cars, hot dogs, salad, snowmen, birthdays, veterans, dogs, scooters, ice cream, church, Jesus, the sun, skunks, carrots, pumpkin bread, blueberries, cups, plates, spoons, squirrels

Zach's preschool class decorated turkey handprint t-shirts and had a cute little parade.

Jared had a High Council speaking assignment in Cross City the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We all travelled along with him and enjoyed visiting with the members of the branch there. They hosted a Thanksgiving dinner after church which was really nice.

The girls dressed up as pilgrims in primary in Cross City.

We celebrated Thanksgiving Day with our good friends the Beck family. They were kind enough to invite us over for dinner again this year, and we enjoyed fantastic food and great company. 

I am thankful this month that things are moving along well with pregnancy #4, and very thankful to be past the yucky nausea stage! 

20 weeks of pregnancy on Thanksgiving Day.

We are thankful for these three great kids in our family!
