Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! We had a great weekend with my parents, who came to visit. Jon was working the hospital service, so we weren't able to leave for the Holiday. Luckily he at least had the afternoon and evening off! I love having my parents here! We had fun eating (of course), going to see a movie (the new Christmas Carol movie with Jim Carrey - - I have to say a bit scary for kids!), and going to the mall. Jon was even able to go to some of the black friday door buster sales at Toy's R Us and Target- - we got some really great deals on stuff for the kids!

Yummy dinner! Too bad I was feeling a bit sour in the stomach- - things didn't really appeal to me on Thanksgiving day. Bummer. BUT- it didn't last long so the leftovers tasted AMAZING to me on Friday and Saturday!!




Pies are traditional - - I made a pumpkin cream cheese pie - - that and my mom's wonderful apple pie - - mmmmmmm.


Grandpa enjoyed playing with his grand kids . . . and Tyler even broke out some smiles for him and Grandma!!




Having fun at the play area of the mall!



Thanks grandma and grandpa for coming down to have fun with us! I have so much to be thankful for this year. Things are going well with Jon in the residency program- and all is getting worked out. Thanks for everyone's prayers! I am so thankful for my children- they ARE MY LIFE, and I love them so much. Baby Tyler is such a fun new blessing! I am also grateful to have a hardworking, loving and faithful husband who I adore- and who is accomplishing his dream! I am thankful for our extended family who love and support us so much. I really do have the best siblings and parents in the world- - along with the additions to our family. I am thankful for our home, and good food, and living in this country. Most of all I am thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ which brings direction and joy to my life.
