Wow- can you imagine 29 pies! Yes, thats really how many there were. Considering there were 52 of us, that is more than half a pie per person. Brigham and I have never had a Thanksgiving meal with either of our parents since we have been married, so it was fun to be with so much family again. Definitely a perk to living close to home.

Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow. ~Edward Sandford Martin
Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action. ~W.J. Cameron
My super cute sister and I headed out to the movies for a little "Twighlight" action. I was pleassantly surprised with the movie. I was prepared to not care for it too much, but I really liked it. It was fun, if not a little kooky. I didn't care for the scenes of the vampires acting....well...like vampires. I never could get over the ridiculous height of Edwards hair either. J and I then went out to lunch and she even stayed the rest of the evening with us. I am thankful for my baby sis- she is adorable.
The kids all got together to provide entertainment. They decided on a "rock band" and had a great time putting together outfits, making instruments and deciding on their music.
For each new morning with its light,For rest and shelter of the night,For health and food, for love and friends,For everything Thy goodness sends.~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.
