{thankful.}

Thanksgiving this year was amazing, to say the least.

We spent it at my sister-in-law's/brother-in-law's cabin in Wallsburg, Utah.

John's ENTIRE family was there (minus one niece and her husband).

It was chaotic, loud, crazy, and fun.

It was a weekend filled with food, laughter, 

Just Dance, games, napping, and memories.

My cute father-in-law went around the room before we ate dinner

and asked everyone to say what they are thankful for.

I loved hearing the things that people were most grateful for.

I love this time of year because it helps me to 

reflect on everything that I have.

I have so much.

My sister-in-law, Missy, posted this quote on her FB page:

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. 

It turns what we have into enough, and more. 

It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.

It can turn a meal into a feast, 

a house into a home, 

a stranger into a friend.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, 

and creates a vision for tomorrow."

I'm not sure who it's by, but I think it's so powerful!

I hope I can keep an attitude of gratitude throughout the whole year!

 Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!
