Thanksgiving weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. They actually always are good:) It started with news of a big blizzard that was supposed to come on Tuesday. Never came at our house. I heard Salt Lake got some snow, but us, none! It was pretty weird how it all happened, or didn't happen. I was bummed because then I didn't have an excuse not to go to school on Wednesday. So I went for half day then came home and went shopping. Andrea found a really pretty jacket from Macy's! It's a very fancy long dark purple coat. She defiantly looks professional! Happy Thanksgiving on Thursday. We got to go over to Aunt Allison and Uncle Todd's house. It was a great day. Allison loves to make Thanksgiving dinner, and boy, does the food knock your socks off! I'm talking really good!! Turkey, potatoes, yam brownies (best way to eat yams), stuffing, green beans and corn....etc. After dinner we played ping pong for a while watched lots of football. Paul loved that! Of course we got to have pie:) We had I think 8 pies, and 10 people for dinner! Needless to say, we had lots of pie! It was great:) I brought a banana cream pie and made two more for the evening part with the LaClaire's. Well we really didn't need them so we have lots of leftovers!

Thanksgiving is great to sit back and eat, enjoy family and friends and think about all the the things that we are grateful for. Today in sacrament meeting, I heard a quote that I really liked: "If there is something that you want that you don't have, think about something that you don't want, that you don't have." I thought that was an interesting point of view I liked it.

This Thanksgiving I have been really thankful to my husband and his hard work for our little family, my family, Paul's family, My Heavenly Father, health, a roof over my head and food to eat...(I could go on)!
