Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, all!  It was a beautiful day, here...sunshine and pretty darn warm for Thanksgiving, considering it's often snowy today!


The girls go with Brad this afternoon, so we took them out to breakfast this morning to...Mimi's Cafe, of course!  They all love this place.  Don't get me wrong, it's really good, I'm just kind of surprised they like it so much.


After breakfast we headed up to Grandmere's, where the girls embarked on a Thanksgiving craft.


They made these CUTE little turkey hats to wear for Thanksgiving dinner, if they want.  They turned out really fun.


The Macdonald Girls!


My mom has really loved decorating this year...Thanksgiving has been no different!


She has some really cool turkeys...


sets a lovely Thanksgiving table,


And cooks up a mean turkey!
   


Before we left this morning, I snapped a shot of our now leafed Thankful Tree...it was such a great thing to be able to think about the things we were thankful for throughout the month.


Later I took all the leaves off, and the girls wrote down some pretty great stuff...This year Leiden was thankful for: the prophet, clothes, Walmart, school, the iPad, Minecraft, fishes, the United States, fire, birds, Pilgrims, the temple, pumpkins, friends, shelter, and hearts.  Mac was thankful for glowsticks, crayons, turkey, bags, pumpkins, flowers, birds, trees, dogs, temples, books, bones, food, school, cats, mama, and leaves.  Mimi was thankful for butterflies, prophets, swimming, belly buttons, hands, trees, clouds, mama, bunnies, eyes, Jesus, leaves glowsticks, swimming, and feet.  SO awesome. 


Mac's little leaves killed me they were so cute.  She is loving writing, and tries to write lots of things without asking me how.


My VERY favorite?  'trce' = turkey LOVE IT!  Particularly the little turkey she drew to go with it.


Happy Thanksgiving, all!  I hope your day was lovely and filled with family, love, and blessings.
