Thankful

I should be going to sleep since I need to be up in 4 hours to go shopping, but I could not wrap up the day without saying Happy Thanksgiving and to be thankful.  We've had a great day.  We hosted Mark's family at our home for dinner.  Thanks to an amazing husband it all went smoothly and I think everyone had a great time.  We had seating for 26 people.  And had more than enough incredible food.  And thanks to my mom and all the things borrowed from her house our tables looked great.

This year I'm especially thankful for my kids wonderful school where the 5th Grade performed Shakespeare and Jessica was the Narrator for Romeo and Juliet.









And where the 3rd Grade performed a Thanksgiving Play and Ashley was an amazing Cranberry!

And John got to have an awesome Grandparents day.  Sorry no pictures since I wasn't there!

I'm so grateful for my husband and kids.  They are amazing and I love them so much.
Thankful for my knowledge of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and for the Holy Ghost in my life.
Grateful for the opportunities I have to serve.
Grateful for jobs that provide us money that allow us to purchase the things we need even if we don't always get what we want.
Love our home that provides us shelter and comfort.
And for my friends and neighbors.
Thankful to live in a free country and to all the service men and women that help us keep it free.

I feel so blessed in my life.  I hope all my friends and family had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.

I loved reading your post. Where you able to purchase what you wanted Friday morning?

Yes, we were successful on Black Friday, but I can't mention most items because my kids read the blog! But we did get a new Christmas tree and new phones that we needed that were both great deals.
