Thanksgiving

This year we were blessed to have family come for Thanksgiving. I didn't take very many pictures, but I did get some.

 We also were able to share Thanksgiving dinner with some friends too. We had my Mom and Dad, my sister Jan, my cousin Aric and his wife Melissa and their 4 kids, Mike's brother Joe, our friend Tami and our friend Ana and her 3 girls. We had a full house with 22 people, but it was great!

I'm so thankful for family and friends, and no Thanksgiving would be complete without some fun with dry ice, knitting lessons, reading, cell phones, naps under the table, jell-o, push ups and piggy back rides, a little chess, some Indian burns, a lot of mustard, holding babies, and glitter lotion, not to mention silly faces!






On a more serious note...
Our Thanksgiving morning was saddened by news of a good friend of Aric and Missy's passing away and my Uncle Joe having a heart attack. The comfort of the Spirit and the peace the gospel brings are wonderful blessings. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jones family and the Elmer family.

Nice to see how much fun you all had! Aric sure looks into those Indian burns. Ouch!
