A Thanksgiving Tradition

Every year, the Monday night before Thanksgiving, we use Family Night to remember what we're thankful for. We do it in an ABC kind of order.

There was a request this year to name one thing you're thankful for and one thing you're not thankful for but for the sake of trying to have a bit of reverence in our evening, I vetoed that one as soon as I could. (not before several items were blurted out. will not be repeating them here, on this family-friendly blog)

We began with Keats, then Hanners, Em, & Lindz- followed by mom & dad.

a- apple cider, no apple juice...no wait- (slow start)

b- balls

c- Chloe, our kitty-cat

d- dessert

e-eagar family

f-farms that farm food

g- games

h- Heavenly Father (all together now, awwwwe)

i- eyes. she honestly said eyes.then changed to ice cream (school, two jobs contributed to this)

j- jungles

k-Keaton

l- ligers

m- mom :)

n- nannies

o- orthodontics

p-the President

q- quilts

r- rumblin' thunder' storms

s- salmon

t- tigers

u- underwear (clean)

v- vacuums

w-warcraft

x- xtra effort from everyone

y- yak meat

z- Zanta Claus

that there is a very precise, telling list. Not sure what it tells about us......

but we are a grateful family, gratefully.
