Giving Thanks

We have so much to be thankful for this year~health, happiness, friends, and family. We spent Thanksgiving at home in California celebrating with my dad and Daniel's aunt Barb and uncle Harold.
Some traditions include making a thankful tree, reading books on giving thanks and making homemade pumpkin pie the night before.

My mom had a great idea to cook the mashed potatoes a few hours early and put them in a crockpot on keep warm which saved alot of last minute hassle even though I managed to have a headache off and on the entire day (the cook always forgets to drink her water :)

For once someone else taking a picture...of course it was my dad~we both always have our cameras ready! :)

After our Thanksgiving feast we decided to make room for pie by taking a walk to the nearby park and playing in the leaves.

After the park we enjoyed some pie and relaxed
