We had a nice Thanksgiving at home, just the four of us. Last year we also had Thanksgiving by ourselves, but this year was so different.
1. There were no tears from me! Since we just got back on Monday from my sister's wedding, along with having spent some of October in Utah, I wasn't missing our families. I was at peace with our family having our own Thanksgiving this year.
2. Our family had little Walter in the flesh to celebrate with us!
3. Darren has employment that he loves this year.
4. We went and had pie with some friends from our ward, so we weren't completely alone anyway! And I made my first ever pumpkin pie (with coconut milk) and I've now fallen head over heels for pumpkin pie :o)
5. I've spent all year counting my blessings and we spent all month adding leaves to our thankful tree. Taking the time to recognize our blessings feels as though it has increased them.
We had a happy Thanksgiving and hope you did too!!
Walt waved his turkey around and didn't even consider eating it.
38 leaves on our thankful tree. And yes, mermaids and fairies did make the list (hehe).
Kind of a long story, but I lost this picture from my phone and iCloud, so it's a good thing I Instagramed it! (you can follow me on IG if you want :o)
While the turkey was in the oven I went for a run on this lovely trail that's right out our back door.
Just hanging around
