We're thankful for.....


It's that time of year again! We have a tradition in the Starnes home of making our thankful turkey every year. Tonight for FHE we learned the words to the song "Count your Many Blessings" and then we wrote down some things we are thankful for and put them up on our bird. Nate drew the face on this year......it looks like a very worried turkey this year.
Here are a few of the things we were thankful for:
Dallin: friends, family, all of the air (...as opposed to SOME of the air??), life, vacation, Jesus, food and church
Parker: Grandma's house, the pond that we drive the remote control boat in, Mom, bananas, and the Dad's job
Landon: scribbles interpreted as brothers, family, water.
Mom: ALL of my boys, temples, callings, friends and family
Dad: Mom, Dallin, Parker, Landon, fruit, health, having a good job
As we closed out our family evening of love and bonding Parker said the closing prayer. These are his words exactly: "Heavenly Father, please bless us that we can have a good night and bless us that we won't kill anybody in the name of Jesus Christ amen."
Parker is such a turkey sometimes.
