Turkey Time

Last night for Family Home Evening we made our Tommy-the-Thankful-Countdown-to-Thanksgiving-Turkey.  Idea courtesy of the geniuses over at Make and Takes.
We took turns saying things we were thankful for.  These things became feathers.  Each day we will pluck a feather and focus on being grateful for the corresponding subject.  The plucking will continue until Thanksgiving arrives.  Today was "school."  Ryder didn't have school, so there wasn't a whole lot of thankfulness going on.  Surely tomorrow will be better.  Unless Obama wins.  Then it will be worse.
