On this Thanksgiving Day, I want to take this opportunity to express a little about what we currently are each grateful for.
Glen:
for two days off of work to spend with family.
for me sleeping in past 4:30am finally. My jet lag was keeping him up and driving him bonkers!
Lara:
for the wonderful opportunities for travel we've had this past year.
to have finally lost the extra weight I've been packing around since right after Spencer got sick.
Spence:
to have been able to see Europe for the first time.
for mom being excited to cook again (and cooking something besides soups)!
Cami (currently known as Soeur G.):
for her first baptism which is scheduled for later this week!
for the opportunity to share the gospel with the wonderful people of France.
Emma:
to have this opportunity to live overseas and explore that part of the world more.
to be able to spend all this time with cute little cousins that adore her.
Adam:
for all the cool adventures he's been on this year.
for finding clothes that actually fit (it's been a struggle!)
Ellie:
for the opportunity to mother's help for people. She LOVES babies!
for the Hamilton soundtrack, which she plays nonstop!
I'll be baking pies today and eventually we'll all head to my brother's house for dinner! The Sister missionaries from our ward are supposed to drop by this morning and we are looking forward to that too. I hope your day is filled with good food, the warmth of a loving family, and a spirit of gratitude in your hearts.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
