Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Today was the Canadian Thanksgiving and since one of our Elders, the one seated closest to the camera, is Canadian and since Dustin will be working a 12 hour shift on our Thanksgiving we celebrated today. Elder Melnyk is from Alberta and Elder Mulliner is from Utah. I cooked and cooked and cooked all day long today. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, greenbean casserole, Doug's delight (Jell-o salad), homemade rolls, corn on the cob, and homemade apple and pumpkin pies. Since we were in SLC yesterday I had to get it all done today. It worked out just right. We planned a turkey game to play before dinner and we made clucking turkeys out of plastic cups and learned a song for FHE. You can see one of the turkeys in the picture. I think it was a success. The boys took leftovers home and that's always a good sign. So Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Be sure to take some time to reflect on what you're thankful for- it can make any day better!

I was so confused when it said "Happy Thanksgiving!" I thought I had missed it.
