Happy Thanksgiving from the Downer family! It's our first Thanksgiving as a family, and it's also Brennan's 11 month birthday. Just one more month and he'll be a year old! Craziness.
We celebrated Thanksgiving quietly with just the three of us, watching the parade and cooking like crazy. I've never cooked a Thanksgiving meal before, so it was definitely new territory. After only one phone call to my mom for some needed advice, the meal turned out to be a success. Just to clarify, I didn't do it solely by myself. John helped out with some aspects, for which I was very grateful.
Since we are now a family, I wanted to start some of our own traditions. This year, I came up with the idea of doing a gratitude journal where we will record some of the things that we are thankful for that have happened in the past year. This way, we'll have a record that we can look back on each year to see the different ways that God has blessed us. We have definitely had a lot to be thankful for in the past year!
