Thanksgiving

What's Thanksgiving without some form of a "Turkey Bowl"? Stephen had a great time playing his own little game. Here he is ready to make a big play! It actually turned into a fantastic tackle. (We'll teach him later that you don't do the tackling when you're the one with the ball.) He totally knocked me down!

Most of Linda's family was able to be there for the big dinner. It was great to see all of them. Linda set an amazing table. The food that everyone brought was of course delicious. My favorite dish is the sweet potato casserole/pudding that Linda makes each year. It tastes good enough to be dessert!

Andy helped his dad carve the turkey. Don't worry, he didn't actually bite into that drumstick.

Kaymi had a great time playing with aunts and cousins. She loves to go to Grandma and Grandpa Soderberg's house.

We had a marvelous Thanksgiving. We feel exceedingly blessed with warmth, shelter, food, good health, great employment, wonderful family relations, strong testimonies, great friends and so much more. I wanted to make a list of things for which I am thankful each day of November and then post it on the blog. I didn't get it done (obviously), but I have felt so much more gratitude in my heart as I've thought about counting our blessings each day.
