Our Thanksgiving Weekend

This Thanksgiving Season, I have so much to be thankful for.

I AM THANKFUL FOR:

My wonderful husband who does so much for me and loves me despite my shortcomings.

My 3 fantastic kids whom I could never live without.

An amazing and supportive family.

My Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ which brings me such peace and happiness in my life.

A home to live in, food to eat, and clothes to wear.

The freedoms that this country allows us to enjoy.

And so many, many other things!!

We had a busy and fun Thanksgiving weekend. The kids were s-o-o excited to have a break from school. They were ready for the fun to begin as soon as they got home from school on Wednesday.

Wednesday night, Stan helped the kids make Bobble Turkeys while I made pies. (above picture)

Thanksgiving morning was the neighborhood 1 mile and 5K run. I wish I had a picture to show, but Parker received a medal for finishing the 1 mile first, and Stan received a medal for finishing the 5K first out of his age group (okay, so there were only 4 people in his age group, but I’m pretty proud of him for even trying considering he’s never run a 5K before).

After watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in the morning, we went over to Stan’s parents house for our Thanksgiving meal. Yummy, Yummy!! Here are some fun pictures of our Thanksgiving day.

After going home for a short evening nap, we headed over to my parents house for leftovers and visiting. It was a fun filled day! We were exhausted by the time we got home at 10:30 p.m.

After sleeping in the next morning, we pulled all of our Christmas decorations down from the attic and got to work. Ever since they were little, Cassie and Parker have been in charge of assembling the Christmas tree. It was a lot of hard work when they were little, but they are pros now!! Here’s a picture of Cassie and Parker putting the tree together when they were 7 & 4 yrs. old.

And here they are 6 years later!! A little easier to reach the top! :)

Cassie and Parker put Dallin to work this year. His job was to spread out the limbs on each branch.

The fun is just beginning! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
