Happy Thanksgiving!!

I want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving! I am most grateful for my family and my faith. I'm also grateful that this year has been so good to us. Ben has been a hard worker and we have a practice that is doing extremely well. We are so blessed!

We actually had our Thanksgiving a week early this year. Ben has an event all this weekend, so my parents had their Thanksgiving feast last weekend. We made the trip up to Rexburg Friday night and had our yummy Thanksgiving meal Saturday afternoon. That evening, we went to see Thomas perform in the high school play, Man of LaMancha. He was one of the muleteers and they all did a fantastic job! It was fun to spend some time with the family.

Ben likes to catch up on the National Geographic and read Calvin and Hobbes.

We left right after sacrament meeting on Sunday because it was starting to snow like crazy. It wouldn't be a trip to Rexburg in the winter without driving home in a snow storm. :)

Evan also had his preschool Thanksgiving (or as he would say, "Gives-giving") party on Tuesday. He was very proud of the "turkey-lurkey" he made out of an apple and some marshmallows.

Since our Thanksgiving is over, we have a whole day today with nothing to do. It feels nice! I went and saw New Moon (which I liked a LOT better than Twilight) this afternoon while the kids were napping.

We hope you all have a happy and safe holiday with lots of loved ones and yummy food! :)
