Happy Thanksgiving

This is our Turkey Lurkey at the kids table.....do you love Thanksgiving kids tables??


I love this entryway buffet and the picture above it. what a great reminder for me every time I come or go.

Here is one of my treasures!! I'm grateful for strong men who could carry it up the stairs to add it along this wall. it is a 12 foot bench. Thanks to the Church of Hope that was getting rid of them for free.

We had a great Thanksgiving!! We had the Zieglers over and we had a house full. It was great to see all the Utah cousins. The boys couldn't wait to see them. We got to see Jon's new baby Cannon. He is a cutie. I'm a horrible picture taker as you can see I didn't take any pictures while they were here. I need a brain transplant!! I am so thankful they were here and that all the little kids (and big kids) get so see each other once in a while. We get to go to Utah after Christmas for a few days we are excited. I think cousins should know each other!!

It was a busy weekend Stacy had her baby on Friday night or was it at the crack of dawn on Saturday they named him Braden they should be coming home on Wednesday. Jake got engaged to a darling girl, Heather, She is also a teacher. We had kids playing inside we had kids playing outside. The weather was perfect. The kids loved to be outside and play on the swing. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was good to be with family. We are so grateful to have the family we have been waiting for. This is our year for gratitude to our Heavenly Father for all he has given us. We are grateful every year but we have seen his hand so clear this year in our family. We have been given the ultimate blessing from our Savior Jesus Christ without him all of this would be for nothing. We are grateful for the atonement, restored gospel, for the blessings of the temple. There is so much power in knowing that we will be a family forever. It makes some things so much easier to do each day. We have are grateful for the scriptures especially the book of Mormon. It really is a different book as we look at our little people and know that they are descendants of these great prophets of old. We are so thankful for a living prophet. Who loves us and lead and guides us. These are great days to be alive!!
