Thanksgiving

We headed up to Antler Ranch (aka my dads house) for Thanksgiving. Brett, Brady, Jen and Laurie all came with their families. It was fun to eat yummy food and think of all we need to be grateful for. It was sad Nate had to work and we did not get to spend the day with him. The kids and I missed him. I spent most of the day thinking about him and wishing he was there.

Grandpa Terry let all the kids take turns riding his horse. McKenna was more nervous than I thought she would be.

Sage was in heaven. He wanted turn after turn.

Aspen was so funny. She kept slipping off the saddle. She was so brave and loved it.

Veterans Day

Sage and McKenna had a Veterans Day program at their school. They invited Grandpa Ted to come. It was such a neat day. They had all the Veterans sit on the stage. Each grade stood before them and sung a few songs. It was really special when Sage and McKenna classes sang. Grandpas eyes welled up with tears as he watched his grandchildren perform. Then they had a man speak to all the kids about freedom. He told them about all the places he had been in war. He talked about how many kids suffer from having no shelter, food, or parents. Sage and McKenna really realized how lucky they are to have so much.

After the program Grandpa showed McKenna and Sage the old Book of Mormon that he carried all through out the war.
