My Thanksgiving "Moment"

Turkey project by me and Olivia. (She said she wanted me to make a turkey with her, but I couldn't help her, I had to make my own. Mine's just the same ol', same ol'. She had something different in mind).

We drove down to Portland to have Thanksgiving with John's family. In our van, it's much easier to travel with kids because I can go back and try to keep them entertained on a long ride. During the drive, I went back to sit by Katelyn and give her Cheerios. Olivia was singing Primary songs and Jackson was sleeping.
These are some of the words to the song she was singing:
"He is always near me, though I cannot see him there.
And because He loves me dearly, I am in His watchful care."

There's so much about those words and that song to be thankful for. Knowing He does love her dearly, and me dearly also. I'm so thankful that my kids can know that He loves and watches over them, that we have the knowledge of the gospel, that we can teach these things to our children, and for Primary and Primary songs that help them to learn of Him and feel Him near as they sing.
I also thought of how thankful I am for all those people surrounding me in the car.
I could here Jackson's soft snoring behind me, Olivia singing in her best 5-yr-old voice next to him, Katelyn next to me trying to eat her toes and babbling "ma-ma-ma-ma," and my best friend, best husband, and partner-through-it-all up in the driver's seat.
So much to be thankful for.
(That same attitude of gratitute wasn't as present late that night trying to get 3 kids to sleep away from their own beds, but that's another story . . . )
