Thanksgiving

I didn't take any pictures of our Thanksgiving day, but I wanted to make sure that I posted about our fun day.

This year was not like any year we have had in a long time. This year we had a quiet, fun filled day with the family. It was actually WONDERFUL!

First I got up and put the turkey in my roaster pan, then we went off to the gym so that Loren and I could get a walk in, then we went to Sports Authority to check out some new tennis shoes for me, since I haven't bought a new pair since 1997, I am guessing I was well overdue! After wards we got home about noon, Loren started rinseing fruit, that I've later found out from viewing Dr. Oz that we didn't rinse off nearly enough to clean the fruit. I took a shower and then got to work in the kitchen, setting the table with our fine china, and crystal glasswear. We ate in the formal dinning room too.

At two oclock we sat down to a very sensible filling meal, and at 3 Loren was loading the dishwasher, while I was putting food away. After Loren and I took a 45 minute nap, we set the alarm to make sure we didn't sleep longer. Then we went in and played some Wii with the kids for an hour or two.

After we watched a movie, had some sandwiches for dinner and watched another movie. The day was one of the most relaxing days I've had in years.

What I am thankful for:

I am thankful for my family first and formost.

I am thankful for those men and women who preserve my freedom

I am thankful that for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life and the knowledge I have of its truthfulness.

I am thankful for my eight beautiful grandchildren and for our new little one coming in January, she will be a welcome addition to our family!
