Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is a special time of year. It has a lot of happy and sad memories for me.
Since it is usually a happy day for all I will share the happy things I like about this holiday.
here is my top 20 things i love about Thanksgiving.


1. I love to be with my moms side of the family. *we counted today and there are 45 of us.*

2. I am the second oldest of my cousins on that side and its fun to watch them grow from year to year.

3. TURKEY!!! SNEECHERS! lol this is an inside joke with my cuz Hailey.

4. We do a service project every thanksgiving. this year it was writing missionaries. lol i have gotten really good at that!

5. all the other yummy food that is made. salads, rolls, stuffing, etc yum!

6. Sledding or Playing at the park, Depending on the snow fall of the year, this year we had snow so we went sledding!

7. Singing with the fam, more or less i just listen, I am not musically inclined. but i have amazing singers and musicans in my family.

8. Thinking of things that I am grateful for, friends, family, place I live, Utah, its a beautiful place! I LOVE IT!

9. The smell of the food, and my grandma's house.
