THANKSGIVING

Man, is it December already?! Wow!! Thanksgiving was so fun this year. However, I did forget to bring my camera. We had Thanksgiving at my mom's house. My aunt Denece and all of her kids, except for Trevor who just left on a mission, and their wives came and celebrated with us. My mom worked so hard to make such a special holiday for all of us. It turned out so nice. My parents purchased a table that has 12 leafs so we could all eat together, it was pretty impressive! The food of course was yummy! I LOVE turkey! Jake and I cooked one of the turkeys for the first time and it actually turned out pretty good! I think I want to brine one next year. I hear that is the only way to go. We'll see. My mom also put on a crazy game of bunco for all the adults. It was so crazy with all 20 of us, but it was very fun. We need to get together and do it again. Thanks mom for a great Thanksgiving.

I have so much to be grateful for. I have the best family in the world. We have had some trials recently and it is impressive how we can all come together. We definitely have our moments with each other, but for the majority of the time we have SO much fun together. We can get laughing so hard we cry. I love moments like that! I love all of them and wouldn't trade any of them for the world. (even you, Ben and Mark!!)

I am so grateful for the wonderful husband and sweet little girl that is in my life. Avery is such a blessing and such a sweet little spirit. I truly thankful for the opportunity I have to be her mom.

It is a great time to be thankful and I am so thankful for everything in my life. It couldn't be better.
