Thanksgiving!

We decided not to host this year but instead possibly go away or ask the kids what would be delightful for them. Instead of being crazy cleaning and cooking we thought we would enjoy our day together as a family.

Ended up Cecily struck a pretty high fever on Friday so we were glad we stayed home and now she has new teeth! 

We did last minute call a few sets of missionaries from church and see if they wanted to come over for breakfast - they were all free! It was one set of elders and two sets of sisters 

(I LOVE having Sister Missionaries over to set such a great example for the girls) 

In our church both young men and women can go on missions all around the world.  

Here is the list they came up with.

My AMAZINGLY TALENTED Aunt Debbie made these place mats for the kids for Thanksgiving.

They all got to pick out cereal from the store. They loved waking up to a special treat!
