thankful turkey

in my family, every november was marked by the creation of a paper bag turkey, complete with construction paper feathers and a head that took far too much effort.  we stuff this turkey and on thanksgiving, we rip it open and destuff it.  of course, this isnt ordinary stuffing-its tons of little bits of paper, scribbled with the things we are most thankful for (usually this also includes drawings, to add to the horror of the person who drew it out).

 since getting married, i have insisted on doing a thankful turkey with brian, though i constantly have to remind him or else it will only be fun of the things im grateful for.this was last years turkey.  yes, that is scrapbook paper for feathers, yes, i am a closet paper junkie.  dont judge.

so since we had thanksgiving with my family this year, and were totally out of town, we just tore this puppy-er, turkey-up tonight, and i wanted to share with you some of the things that we are grateful for:

a nice apartment

snow (twice by brian, once by me)

a husband who makes me take care of myself

a wife who goes to the store for me

family

a fabulous family in law

my wife (brian put that in twice, that stinker)

a husband who makes sure im safe driving in the snow

good gluten free food (i put that in twice-apparently im REALLY thankful for it!)

prayer

revelation

forgiveness and the atonement

the gospel

friends who invite us over for dinner

these are just a few things we are thankful for this year, and i hope that you guys have all been able to reflect on your blessings as well.  

i know one thing:

im thankful for YOU!
