Thanksgiving has become one of the Schreiber Tribes favorite Holidays. Because Eric has such a huge work load the day before Thanksgiving and the day after, we aren't able to travel to far of a distance to be with friends and family, so about 6 years ago we started our own tradition. We wake up Thanksgiving morning, kind of take it easy for a few hours and then head into Idaho Falls for the day. We go out to eat and then usually go to the Falls for photos. Then we hit the movies. After we usually do a little pre-Black Friday shopping and then go home. My brother Rich and his family have been joining us for the past several years and we have loved having them! This year was a little different because Joyah just was not going to sit through a movie! I ended up getting her to sleep in the car and just parked and read while everyone else enjoyed their show. That was okay too :)
Here are a few things we are thankful for, in no particular order...........Our house, Joyah, Joyah's smile, The mountains, The beautiful place we live, Loved ones, Our faith, Good examples, Asic shoes, Eric's mad hunting skills, Aleah, Aleah's beautiful voice, Warm cars, Ice cream, Chap stick, Soft lips, Contacts, Clean underwear, Ironed clothes, Air, Water, Summertime, Volleyball, Theatre, Jobs, Paychecks, Laughter, Chance, Chance's sense of humor, Grandparents, pillows, The piano, Fun cousins, Cell phones, Fresh salads, Sunglasses, Eric, Tevo, Eric's mad cooking skills, Days at the lake, Darby Canyon Wind Caves, Aaron and his great example, Snowboarding, Skiing, Crisp sheets, Seat belts, Frank, Camping, Friends, Surprises, America, Hummus, Support, Talents, Awesome Aunts and Uncles, Did we say Frank?, Snow tires, Snow blowers, Popcorn and movie nights, Games around the table, Slippers, Glee, Daisy and Snickers, Furnaces that work, Hot tubs.
I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. ~G.K. Chesterton
