I was able to help out in Riley's class today with their little party. I got their early. It was fun to see Riley interact with the other kids and just watch her play. Chloe was in heaven. They let her be part of the class. She is just as tall as most of the kids in there so she really fit in well. It was sad to see how many kids don't understand English though.
We made some cute little turkey cookies for the party. It's hard to see them, but it's just a fudge striped cookie with candy corn as the feathers and a kiss as the turkey head. Stuck on there with chocolate frosting.

I've been thinking a lot this week that I really do have so much to be thankful for...
My family, extended and my kids and husband!! They really make life joyful!!
My health and a body that works well. As I've been going to physical therapy over the last few weeks I realize some people can barely walk or use their limbs at all.
Darren's steady job!!
A nice family car, clothes that fit and keep us warm. Living here has made me see how truly blessed we are to have all of these luxuries!
The gospel and all of the church leaders who guide us in the right way!
Living in a free country where men are serving to protect us and that right to be free.
Last, but not least, great friends who blog!! Have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Great post. There are so many things to be thankful for. I know I have a lot.
Missy, We went to the Ellsworth's yesterday and my assignment was to bring everything except the turkey. Sunny and I decided that only a few of us would even eat sweet potatoes, so only make a few. I tried your recipe, but cut it in half. So as it turns out it was a huge hit. It was the first thing gone and everyone was wishing there was more!
