Thanksgiving

Our Turkey Day tradition of going to Missouri continued this year and was even more memorable as we got to celebrate Tod's birthday on the same day. We had a great trip and the kids always love being at the farm. This year, the favorite activity was the rope swing down in the barn. It provided hours of entertainment for all ages! The girls got to go horse back riding with Grandpa which is something they always look forward too. We also did a lot of cooking, of course! Other highlights included Black Friday shopping (Menards!), seeing the movie "Tangled", going to the Amish country store to stock up on spices and yeast, and sewing a skirt with Grandma's help. Thanksgiving was a little bit hard for me this year as I found myself thinking back on all the wonderful Thanksgivings spent in Helper with the ultimate cook, Grandma Betty. Even when we moved away, I still would talk to her on the phone nearly every year. So many good memories. I was so glad this year that we were able to be at the farm enjoying what has become a tradition for our family now. I know we will look back on these farm holidays as wonderful memories.
