Wednesday, we went to my parents for an actual turkey. No tofurkey this year! The kids stayed with Granny and Gramps while Devin and I went to see Harry Potter. It was a much needed date!
Thursday we went to Devin's family's Thanksgiving feast and traditional pie contest, of course! Devin got first place! He made a "Candy Apple Pie" with apples, carmel, roasted pecans, and chocolate. Delicious!
I was a judge and it was difficult! All these pies were yummy!

Nana and Henry and Uncle Mark. Uncle Mark has 2 turkeys and chickens that the boys love visiting. They chase the turkeys and it's hilarious to watch those birds run!
After stuffing ourselves for the second day in a row, we played some family football. I watched and Devin shouldn't have played because of his ribs, but he couldn't resist. They had a great time. He asked if I was impressed about his performance. It was cute that he still wants to impress me:) I sure love that guy! And our families!
This year, I'm especially thankful for:
My husband--he is truly my best friend in the world and without his support I wouldn't be able to do all that I do.
My kids--who despite the trouble they give me, are the reason I get up every morning and bring me more happiness than I ever could have known.
The Gospel--without it, I would feel lost and with it I know my purpose and my potential and the blessings I will receive if I do what is right.
My body--though right now it is uncomfortable, it is serving its purpose and is capable of doing amazing things.
