Oh, Give Thanks

091122OhGiveThanksFor the past couple weeks we have been discussing the things we are grateful for at the dinner table every night.  Here are a few of the things we have come up with:

Scott: “my sweetums” (usually refers to Andrew and Susanna, but in this instance he specifically noted that it also included me), bicycles, extended family, health, Jesus Christ

Me: the love of my life (Scott of course), the changing of the seasons, “my sweetums” (yes we used the same cheesey word, but I was just referring to my kids), food, temples

091122NursingPlaymobilSusanna: my baby brother, “my family” (her small plastic one pictured at right—if you look closely you might notice that the mother is feeding the baby) , pomegranate seeds, blocks, eyes

Have you seen the Mormon Messages made by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?  They’re wonderful, and here’s a Thanksgiving flavored one that I like.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving full of tender turkey, flavorful stuffing, lots of laughter, and, especially, that you are surrounded by people you love.

p.s. Artwork by Susanna.  Okay, I cut out the pieces, but she applied the glue and chose the position (and the number of eyes).

I like the thankful list. I also want to hear more about Susanna's activity of scaring unsuspecting strangers.
