We had a great Thanksigiving this year at home celebrating with Kent and Christie and Kelly. This was Madeleine’s and Grandpa Malan’s first meeting, and they were both happy to finally meet each other. I had some good helpers with the bread for the stuffing again, and the boys now remember this as their job each year. Asher kept busy counting candy corns for his activity while we prepped. We had a delicious spread of food, and we all ate too much. One new thing that we tried was to put out a jar that said “Give Thanks,” with little slips of paper on them. Everyone wrote down things they were grateful for throughout the day, and during dinner, we passed the jar around and read what we had written. It was fun to read the different things we had all written.
I was a little worn out by the end of the day! Shane caught this picture of me taking a quick nap on the couch after all the festivities were over.

So cute! Madeleine sure was wide awake, but course she didn't work as hard as her mother did that day!
