What we're thankful for...

Each year, after we pray for our Thanksgiving feast we all go around the table and say what we're thankful for...this year a new rule was implemented...you can't repeat any one else's Thankfulness AND my mom got to chose who went first, next and last...
Derek-Our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Mom-warm houses, good food and healthy families.
Kamiryn-pink <----such a girlie girl.
Abram-his dog, Charlie
Madison-peanut butter
Ethan-FOOD
Lloyd-family and friends
Danelle-books
Me-our health this year, yah for no hospital visits!!!
Miranda-Rue(a deceased book character)
Steven-his beautiful wife...no really, his job and employment.
Dad-prosperity, wealth, health...and so on and so on and so on...
Heather-after about 2 minutes of rambling discussing, it was finally said...TEXTING! :) I love it!

This is a fun family tradition that we do every year. I love it and am so thankful for my family. After some of us cooked, while others watched football, ate and cleaned up, we played a family game of Cranium. 3 teams: Mom and Heather, Miranda and I & Steven and Danelle. S&D were whipping butt...until...my mom and Heather, out of no where, WON the game! I have to admit...my mom is great at drawing with her eyes closed...much better than guessing what Heather is acting out! It was one of the best Thanksgivings we've had. Then at 10:30pm, Mom, Heather and I headed out to WalMart to shop ALL.NIGHT.LONG! After 4 stores and out to breakfast we finished at 8am...we all agree, this is the way to Black Friday shop! Again, another "best" was added to the list of my life...I feel so thankful and blessed to have my family. Until next Thanksgiving, may your heart stay full and thankful.

That is great, my family also says what we are thankful for on Thanksgiving. We also did a bunch of black Friday Shopping. Jared stayed at Target all night,and then we met up at 4:30 and shopped until 8:00 as well. It was great:)
