Emma's -
Thankful for family
Hearty friends
Amazing turkey for the feast
Numerous cousins to play with
Kind and loving brother
Shelby's fluffy coat
Great grandparents
Interesting parents
Vases full of flowers
Intense video game I can play
Newborn babies to hold
Giving service to friends and family
Jacob's -
Thankful for turkey to eat
Happily singing songs with family and friends
Appetizing rolls and turkey
Non-nutritious pumpkin pie
Kindly playing with cousins
Slamming Tate into the couch
Growing larger around the waist
Ignoring pain as I'm tackled
Vexing parents all around
Ignighting fireworks in the street
Now we run around the house
Giving thanks to all
Audrey's -
Tasty treats satisfy my sweet tooth.
Homemade temptations abound.
All my loved ones gathered together.
Napping and snoozing through the day.
Kids play happily with each other.
Satisfied sighs escape smiling lips.
Gluttony excused, even encouraged.
Intoxicating aromas fill the air.
Vast amounts of food cover tables and counters.
Infectous laughter envelopes the group.
Nostalgic tales warm full hearts.
Gratitude fills my soul.

We are thankful for our family and for all that you share with us. We have so much for which to be thankful.
What wonderful poems. I especially like Emma's "Interesting Parents" !
Okay, the gauntlet has been thrown down. (You'll have to explain that expression to your kids.) I'll try to come up with one of these on my own tomorrow and publish it here! We are truly thankful for such wonderful grandchildren, and we will miss you very much on Thanksgiving Day and every day.
