Day 24 - Thanksgiving

So grateful to spend this day with our family !!!

Thanksgiving is a time for families and friends to gather together and express gratitude for all that we have been given, the freedoms we enjoy, and the loved ones who enrich our lives. We recognize that all of these blessings, and life itself, come not from the hand of man but from Almighty God . . . On this day, let us all give thanks to God who blessed our Nation's first days and who blesses us today. May He continue to guide and watch over our families and our country always. -- President George W. Bush

Thanksgiving Turkey for our Missionary

Since Thanksgiving is an American Holiday and Dylan will miss all the fun festivities like the "Turkey Bowl" and a Turkey dinner. In fact it is just another day in Peru. A fun idea we are doing for Dylan is sending him "Tom The Turkey". I printed this Turkey on cardstock and then cut the feathers off by cutting around his feet, body and head. They I cut feathers out of cardstock and I am having friends and family write messages on them. I will attach a glue dot to the end of each feather so he can assemble his Turkey on Thanksgiving and know how much we are all grateful for him. An envelope usually only takes about 10 days so I hoping if I mail him on Thursday he will receive him on time.
