Thanks giving this year was spent in Prescott. Over the week of Thanksgiving the boys all wrote down the things they were thankful for on a feather for our Turkey. This was the final product! There were 100 feathers. Some were sweet...family, God, JoJo, etc. But other things were silly, like toilets, the digestive system, beds, etc.
This time of year is my favorite! I love the smell of pumpkin and spice and pumpkin bread. I love the colors of fall (though we don't see many colors here- I can dream!) And I love the idea that at least for one day out of the year- we can stop and think about what we are so blessed with. My goal for the year to come is that I can learn to recognize how blessed I am each and every day and to teach my family to do the same.

This year Lisa offered to help me make the pies for Thanksgiving instead of going to Costco to buy them. We made apple, pumpkin and chocolate silk. Jonathan helped with the chocolate silk right down to the chocolate shavings and whip cream.
The weekend before Thanksgiving we had dinner at our house with Chris, Katie, Marc and mom and Bill.
When we arrived in Prescott on Thanksgiving morning, Papa and Grandma made us breakfast....pumpkin pancakes. YUMMY! After breakfast we went downstairs to see the new train! The new train even blows smoke! The boys LOVED it!
