Happy Thanksgiving!

We had the best Thanksgiving! We went over to Brent and Laurie's house for the big meal. It was amazing food and tons of it. We had everything you can think of from the Turkey to all the trimmings. We had about 6 or 7 pies just for our two families. We had lots of good laughs and watched Funny Farm after. 

 We tried really hard to get a good family picture. Drew makes that really hard these days. 
 We forgive him because he's so darn cute. 



 Our kids LOVE their cousins. They can't go more than a few days with out seeing them. They are SUCH a blessing to have so close. I am so lucky to be an Aunt. It is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. 
It was crazy to think that a year ago we drove out to Colorado Springs for Thanksgiving and this year we live here. I didn't know a year ago that this place would be my home. Crazy how time flies. Laurie and I go shopping for Black Friday every year. For some reason they keep making the shopping start earlier and earlier. We left her house about 7:30 pm Thanksgiving night. We got back about 5:30 am. We had a great time like always and spent a lot of money to save alot. Ha! But it is always worth it. 
We are so Thankful to live in such a beautiful place. I can't get over how wonderful the weather is. I am obsessed with it. It is so warm compared to Utah. Its the best. We went around the table and expressed what we are grateful for.....
  1. Our Family
  2. Our Church and all the blessings that come with that
  3. Our health
  4. Finding our harp teacher and piano teacher. We are truly blessed living so close to them.
  5. Living such a wonderful life with so many fun things to do and enjoy as a family
  6. Living in Colorado so close to the Morrills and Egberts. We are so lucky to have family here
  7. All the amazing friends we have made
  8. Our amazing school that we some how got into
  9. Our testimonies
  10. All of the little things that are such luxuries
There are so many more things to be thankful for, but those were the ones that we said around the table.
I love Thanksgiving and spending time with family. This year, it was just as wonderful as always. We missed our family back in Utah but we all did better being away than I expected.
