Thanksgiving
We hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. We certainly did. Our day starts out early in the morning with getting the turkey in the oven and then watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It's been a tradition since I was a little girl to turn on the parade and watch it on Thanksgiving, and it was one of the things I liked most about the holiday as a kid. Our Thanksgiving holiday is pretty laid back and we just enjoy each other's company and the company of some friends we invite over to celebrate with us. Since we live so far away from our families, we have just celebrated the holiday ourselves at home.
Taking Flight
After I put the pumpkin pies in the oven to bake, we decided to take the new octocopter out for a spin with the gimbal and camera attached for the first time. Don flew the copter while I controlled the camera, and it felt great feeling like I was flying. I took a few photos while we were aloft, and this photo is one of them. It was a beautiful day that ended with some very light snow flurries. I cannot wait to have some real snow. I'm hoping we get it.
What We're Thankful For
Thanksgiving is a time of year when everyone starts thinking about all the things they're thankful for in their lives, but we should think about this all year round. It's so important to take the time to consider what means the most to you in life, and be thankful that it's there. We're all busy and take things for granted sometimes, myself included. We should really make it a point to remember these things more often and to capture the special moments in our lives.
Here's a few things we're thankful for:
- Our Lord and savior
- Our church family
- Our amazing kids
- Our health
- Family
- Fantastic friends
- The ability to support ourselves financially and have good health care
- Food on the table
- A good school for our son
- Each other
There are so many things to be thankful for, and we spent our day remembering those things as well as many others. We had some great food, awesome family time and some good company. That's all we could ask for.
