Oh, so Grateful!







My dad is awesome....




We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my Dad and Jeanene's house.  

On our way to their house (about an hour drive), we listed lots of "normal" and "random" things we are thankful for.  It was an excellent exercise in gratitude.
We filled an hour up quickly, and could have kept going!

Fantastic food and family are a great combination!
We loved the fun activities (making a fruit kebob turkey, an outside treasure hunt, ping pong, watching a football game on t.v., chatting and more chatting in the kitchen together, Bingo, and of course helping make and eat food!

It was great to see Derek (up from North Carolina), and Abram and Kristin's family.

We are SO GRATEFUL to live near family this year!

I have collected several delicious recipes for Thanksgiving over the years,
and I'm adding three from this year....
Jeanene's delicious cranberry salsa, Kristin's roasted vegetables, and the chocolate white chocolate pomegranate cookies I made earlier in the week...
YUM!   

We are excited to see the Isom Family tomorrow for Grace's birthday!  More "thankful for" blessings!
