I'm thankful for THANKSGIVING!
For the opportunity it allows us to contemplate our blessings,
and to show our gratitude for others.
What better way to show my gratitude than to celebrate Thanksgiving?
and with family nonetheless!
Our Thanksgiving was the smallest it's been since we got married.
Everyone's slowly moving away from Hawaii.
This year it was just me, Misi, Fusi, Siuaki, Vita, Lasi and Allene.
Misi and I got to sleep in, then we went to the BYUH gym and got a great work out in.
Everyone met up at our house for Thanksgiving lunch, and as per tradition, we started out by taking a minute to express what we are grateful for.
It was a very intimate and beautiful moment for us as a family.
We missed the grand-kids not being around.
It's just not the same without them.
We ate, watched football (Miami vs Cowboys),
and played apples to apples (goodness, now there's a funny game!).
and played apples to apples (goodness, now there's a funny game!).
After a late afternoon nap everyone went home, and we had some more guests over for a Thanksgiving Dinner.
We invited three young couples from our ward.
They have no family in Hawaii and it's their first Thanksgiving as newly weds.
We invited them over for dinner and games.
We ate and then worked off our food by playing Dance Central 2 on our kinect
then we ended the night with more apples to apples!
It was a great Thanksgiving.
And I'm so grateful for this special Holiday.
