This year we decided to start a new tradition, since we are so blessed to live so close to family and spend Thanksgiving day with them we wanted to do something with just our kids on Thanksgiving eve. I found an idea to go to the store and have each person pick out food in the $5 range. Then come home and cook it all for dinner. It was so fun to let the kids shop for what they wanted...
Adyson chose chicken noodle soup.
Auston chose corn dogs.
Broc chose chicken fried rice.
Drake chose two giant cans of corn.
Bryon chose corn bread muffins.
And I made homemade cinnamon rolls. We all helped with the cooking and setting the table. Before we ate we each got a candle, Bryon lit his candle and said what he was thankful for and then each person lit the candle of the person sitting next to them and told what they were thankful for. We ate dinner by candle light. Super fun traditions that I'm excited to keep going through the years.
Wheat even came in for the festivities!
For Thanksgiving day we spent to with Sam and Rienie. Scott and Sara were in Disneyland with her family. That evening after playing fun games they took us to the movies where we say Frozen. This year I am so thankful for my family, boy am I lucky to be a wife and a mother, they bring so much happiness to my life. I'm thankful for a living prophet for my testimony for our community and for my Savior.
