Happy Thanksgiving . . .

We had a small Thanksgiving dinner this year, however, it was a wonderful day with my parents, husband and children. My family is so blessed and we are thankful for so many things in our lives. I am grateful for a loving husband who works really hard supporting the family, goes to work every day, even when he has only had a couple hours of sleep and honors his priesthood. He is a joy in my life and I love him very much. I am grateful for our 4 children who bring an added sparkle to our lives. I am also grateful to my wonderful parents. They taught me the gospel of Jesus Christ and emulate His life. It is such a priviledge to live so close and have them in our lives.

McKay's Thanksgiving Feast at School . . .

I was in charge of coordinating a Thanksgiving feast for McKay's Kindergarten class. I was really excited with the choice of napkins, plates, cups and silverware that I purchased, it really matched everything nicely. I assigned several mothers to bring food and then we served the food to the children and teachers. It was a really nice party.

The girls made pilgrim hats for the feast. Two of the girls on the left are in our ward, Maddie and Tanna.

The boys made pilgrim hats or Indian hats. The boy on the left is one of McKay's really good friends, Adam, and they play together twice a week.

Here are the children and teachers enjoying the feast together. Some of us mothers served the food.

Hi McKay, are you having a fun day today?

Thanksgiving Decorations . . .

Steven and I love decorating for the holidays. We don't have too many Thanksgiving decorations, but we did get a few new ones this year.

We Love Fall at Our Home . . .

The trees are so gorgeous during the fall. I especially love the brilliant red colors.

Steven and I both love fall and celebrating holidays.

Steven spends a lot of time raking up the leaves, but this was a fun picture of him on a Sunday afternoon in the backyard. Not too many leaves had fallen at this time.

Lookin cute Taylor.
