Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is such a great holiday! It's so nice to have amazing food and a relaxing day with family. We stayed home this year and had Grandma and Grandpa Williams, Uncle Leroy and a good friend, Brandon over. Grandpa Riley and Douglas cooked a 22 lb. turkey, a 12 lb. glazed ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, braided egg bread, pumpkin and pecan pies. Oh my goodness, we were so full! Oh yeah, and I did my 2% by making spinach salad. We have plenty of leftovers! We of course missed all our family members who are far away. We love all you guys!
Thanksgiving is such a nice holiday to reflect on our blessings and this year we appreciate that we have the gospel and a happy family. Life is a blessing and we are happily living each day.
We sat down as a family and wrote lists of things we are thankful for. It's amazing how much we have when we sit down and really count our blessings. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
