The day before Thanksgiving we had a great experience as a family. Grandma Anderson (Kristen's mom) thought it would be a great idea to go and feed some of the homeless in Salt Lake City, and she invited us to go with her. So with a basket full of homemade turkey sandwiches and cookies, we packed up the car, and headed to Liberty Park in downtown Salt Lake. We walked around the park and handed out sandwiches to anyone and everyone that wanted one. Although a little hesitant at first, the kids even got into handing out the sandwiches. And when we ran out of food, I was touched by their willingness to share with others that didn't get one, even though I'm sure they were hungry themselves. Their smiles, thank-you's, and "God blesses" made it a very rewarding experience for all of us. Thanks Grandma for helping us remember how very blessed we are, and that we have so much to be grateful for.

Well Carlan,
You truly make Thanksgiving what it really is, to be thankful for all you have. That includes, family, health and your trust in God!
