Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we had Steve's parents and Austin, Kyle and Han with us. I love to cook Thanksgiving dinner. Largely because I know we will have leftovers!!! I was so busy cooking and getting everything ready that I forgot to take pictures of our delicious feast but I did remember the pies.... Chocolate Cream (brought by Grandma), Pumpkin pie (made by Han) and

Apple pie (made by yours truly). I love making Apple pies. There is just nothing better than homemade pies!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving day... eating, playing games, eating, relaxing, eating, watching a Hallmark movie...ahh! Since it is Thanksgiving, I thought I would share a few things I am Thankful for...

• My Husband... he is the love of my life!
• My Family...there is nothing better than being with them!
• My Friends...you all know who you are. You have been a great blessing in my life over the years!
• The Gospel...I know My Heavenly Father lives and I am grateful for His Son, Jesus Christ- for the Atonement- for a living Prophet on the earth today and for the many blessings that have come to me and my family.

Those really are the most important things in my life. There are lots of other things I am grateful for and I could make a list a mile long of what those things are but that would just plain take too long!

Thanksgiving night I started putting up Christmas decorations and finished Friday afternoon (well, mostly finished) just in time to go out with... are you ready for this... Myself, Steve, Kyle, Han, Heather, Clint, Austin, Tony, LeAnn, Amanda, Mark, Halie, Ammon, Hunter, Max, Troy, Lanelle, Zack, Tyson, Kaden and Bridger- whew! That's alot of us! I know, pictures would have been great but you should all know by now how inept I am at that! It's kind of a tradition that we get together with these great friends of ours after Thanksgiving and usually after Christmas,too.We all went to the Pizza Factory then to see the new movie- The Blindside. The movie was very good -definitely a must see.

Good Times with Good Friends!

Saturday we were supposed to go down to my sister, Holly's house to visit with another sister, Kristin and her family who were here for the Holiday but they had some sick kids so we did a little shopping instead and had an afternoon of what I will call retro game playing. We chose games to play that we haven't played in quite a while like, Mad Gab, Outburst Jr., and Taboo. I had forgotten how much fun those games were. We finished off the night watching the Jazz game- Go Jazz! Did I mention how grateful I am for family and friends... you know one of the reasons why? Because they bring so much love and laughter into my life! There's nothing better!
