turkeylicious

so we had the most fabulous thanksgiving holiday, i truly enjoyed every second. it was the first year having it at my house, my family came to our place and my las vegas cousins joined in the fun...yup that's right, 18 people eating turkey at my house. now my house is definitely bigger than our provo shoebox apartment, yet it isn't huge. somehow, we managed to fit everyone in comfortably. luckily, i had my mom to take command in the kitchen. the weekend included lots of chatting, games, movies, shopping, naps, christmas lights, and shooting with uncle tom. for all that we did, i should have many more pics, but i'm horrible at remembering to pull the camera out, darn it.
playing darts with dad.
jack LOVED having his uncles around, i pretty much didn't see him all weekend. he was in heaven.

what a blessed life we live. hard times come, but isn't it the greatest blessing of all that Heavenly Father will always grant us the peace and strength we need to make it through. for that, i can never thank Him enough.
