…We celebrated with just our family.  It was peaceful and easy and fun to be grateful together.

…We made 7 pies for 5 people (not kidding… and also, if we're being totally honest it is only for 4 people, since one of them doesn't eat pie.)

…We watched the parade, and I had the great idea to make a fort for the kids to watch in – which they then crawled in and out and in and out of stepping on each other and getting mad.  I love the parade!!  Next year there will be no fort.

…Emma was my "Thanksgiving kitchen helper."  It was so fun to have someone to cook with!  She is a GREAT kitchen helper.

…The microwave was broken.  It broke while I was cooking a squash for the pies… the day before Thanksgiving… and we managed to make our entire feast without it.  Just like the Pilgrims.  :)

…Carter ate nothing but Jell-o for Thanksgiving dinner.  

…We spent the month writing one thing a day we were thankful for… the kids' lists are priceless.  They are going directly to my cedar chest.  

…I was reminded once again that living a grateful life brings such joy.  We have so much to be thankful for!!!
