happy thanksgiving! the Horton's celebrated today with our favorite way, each picking something we are thankful for and making a meal out of it! this year,
like the last, we made a giant breakfast. cereals, french toast, fruits, juices/milks, and lots of yummy syrups.
we also enjoyed the afternoon at my aunts house eating the traditional thanksgiving food and playing games! such a great day
today i am thankful for many things. i am especially grateful for my family and friends. i don't know what i would do without their love and support! i am also grateful for the gospel and everything it provides for my life.
i could go on and on with a lengthy list of things i am grateful for, so i think i'll steal a few from
last years list and improve it by selecting the things i really do appreciate the very
MOST. i also put together a little collage while digesting my thanksgiving dinner today. if you are pictured here it means i love you and am very grateful for you! :)
