Giving Thanks!

Tonight for family home evening, we celebrated Thanksgiving "Rietzsch family style" before the big day at Grandma's house this week. We sang Thanksgiving hymns, watched a cartoon about the first Thanksgiving, colored and cut out pilgrims. Then we had a big, big dinner. Roasted chicken and gracy, poppy seed salad, rolls, appetizers, cider ginger spritzer, and a homemade pumpkin roll (thanks for those tea towels Oma Christa)! It was fun and we were stuffed.

Gabe had a Thanksgiving feast at preschool today and they made turkey hats. Manuel is having one at work tomorrow and then of course we celebrate again on Thanksgiving and then we are going to Park City this weekend for our anniversary and will be eating again. I lost 6 pounds last week to prepare for this week. Wow!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
