~Happy Thanksgiving

After we got home from shooting the girls put together puzzles while Ward and I finished dinner.  The house smelt so good!  I love Thanksgiving!  It is my favorite holiday.  It is the only holiday where no gifts are required, just love, gratitude and kindness. We played games, ate lots, watched movies and just relaxed since Ward will have to go to work in the morning. 

 The love of my life!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

What a great day. We cooked the turkey then headed to Sterling's for dinner. What a great day. It was us, them and Brynn's in-laws. We had a wonderful dinner, lots to eat!!! Visited while the kids played games and visited some more. I love this time of year when we see family and have time to just visit, laugh and eat. It doesn't happen to often with all the kids schedules and work. Today was perfect.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We had a really nice day. Ward and Drake

got up super early and went duck hunting, they

came home happy with stories of success, and

very cold. We had to get a picture of Drake and the

ice hanging around his neck. He was so tired he was

able to spend the day inside on his blanket, sleeping!

We had a wonderful meal, took naps, played games and

had a Wii challenge going. I am so grateful for my little

family and the love we share. I look at each one of them

and I get so overwhelmed with love for them. I can't thank

my Heavenly Father enough for the life he has allowed me

to live. The older I get the more thankful I am for my blessings.

I have more then I can count, my family is always

number one! I love them more then they could ever know.

Happy Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving got off to a rough start.
It actually started at 4:45 Am when

Jolene came in our room with

a tummy ache!! Yep, the flu!!

She was sick from 4:45am until 8:30am

After that she just laid around.

The rest of us enjoyed the "meal" before

the meal!! Yummy veggies and dip, chips and of

course our favorite Artichoke dip!! The turkey looks great, and it
tasted sooooo good!!




Ever since Raychel was 18 months old and

Grandpa Joel handed her the drum stick, it has
become a tradition to have the girls
eat the drumsticks and they love it!!
Grandpa may not be with us, but
his tradition lives on!!


Even with a tummy ache

Jolene couldn't miss the yearly

picture with the drum stick!!Raychel loves pumpkin pie and

wanted to make it by herself

this year! I gladly turned the tradition

over to her!!Jolene and I made the apple pie the night

before and there is Raychel's pumpie pie!

YUMMY!!

School day

I had a great day at school with Jolene!!

I got there in time to play with her and Jackie

at recess!!

The kids posed themselves then asked

me to take their pictures!! In front of the Tepee,

a great Thanksgiving prop.

Big friend hugs!!

Thanksgiving break.
