Thanksgiving + Midnight Shopping

This Thanksgiving was a good one! 

We woke up and headed to Mesa for James, some cousins, and I to 

run our annual Turkey Trot--6.2 miles!

Then we showered and got ready to go to Grandma & Grandpa Dayley's

house for our Thanksgiving feast. My favorite part about the Thanksgiving 

meal is the stuffing and pretzel jello. Grandma made her delicious

pumpkin pie with real whip cream. mmm. 

Then we headed to the Coon side for our second Thanksgiving meal.

Family is seriously the best.

Then the sibs and I decided to venture out into the dangers 

of Black Friday. Annie just had to experience Black Friday for the first time!

I was amazed at the lines! People are crazy! We tried Kohl's, but that ridiculous line!

Then we went to the mall and found some great accessories and a beautiful shirt 

that Annie and I just had to purchase--all for the memory of course.

We have so much to be thankful for. All month, we've had this 

hanging up on our fridge and it's been such a good reminder everyday.

I am thankful for the gospel. I am thankful for my eternal family and friends. 

I am thankful for modern technology, like blogs! I am thankful for my health &

indoor plumbing. I am thankful for clean water and for food. I am thankful

for my dad's job. I am thankful for the opportunity to get an education.

I am thankful for clothes and for the temple. I am thankful for prayer.

I am thankful for the knowledge that I am a child of God. And I am thankful for

repentance, my Savior, and Heavenly Father.
