My Favorite Holiday...

I have always loved Thanksgiving.  I think that it is my obsession with food.  And when else can you fill a plate up with every kind of pie...and it is normal.  I love it.  I love focusing on our gratitude.  And I am grateful for so much.  Top of the list of course are my family and lately, the clear perspective the gospel brings.  We hit traffic on the way up to Orange County yesterday and Molly said in all sincerity, "Wow, there are a LOT of people going to Debbie's house."(My cousin who we spent the holiday with)  Then Garrett at the end of a drive that took twice the time it should have said, "Can I come too, pease?" and when we got him out of seat, he said, "Oh fank you Daddy, fank you!"  I was laughing pretty hard on our way in as I thought of my two year old thinking we drove an hour and a half for nothing and he was SO grateful that he didn't have to stay in his seat anymore.   We had a great time, and it was finished off with a little ukulele playing with my cousin.  I know Grandma was smiling down on us all.  :-)  Here is a little taste of our 1st Annual Family Thanksgiving Play.  It consisted of Molly pretending to be the Turkey, Sam pretending to be the Farmer and Garrett the Fireman coming to save the Turkey's life.  Here are a few songs from the "production."
