 HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVEN THOUGH IT HAS PAST ALREADY!

  This year we weren't able to celebrate with family BUT we were able to celebrate with friends, the second best thing. We went over the Noyces, our wonderful friends who are so patient with, not only us, but our lovely rambunctious Oliver, and  our clingy and adorable, Madeline. We were fed very well by our friends. Kudos to Zack for a delicious meal. We contributed a little with desserts and a side dish. It was a very nice low-key evening, quite relaxing. And I wanted to make a pioneer hat for Oliver and a bonnet for Madeline which turned out kind of cute. I was hoping to make one for all of us, but I didn't have big enough paper for our adult heads. Overall Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful with great company.

    My post won't be complete until I express my gratitude to my Saviorn for all of the blessings He has given me (the list is endless but I just want to share some, in no particular order):

1. My life as a wife, a mom, a daughter and daughter-in-law, a sister, and friend
2. My Bung Bung and Mads!!! How can I not be grateful for my rascals. They keep me alive! 
3. The sun. I didn't realize how much I love the sun until it got gloomy and cold.
4. Games! 
5. Weston! He keeps me laughing even when I'm in a crazy pre-period time. I'm really lucky!
6. My in-laws for having Weston and loving me!
7. The smell of rain and wet trees
8. My heritage. It's pretty cool if I can say so myself.
9. My wonderful parents and crazy brothers.
10. A very cool sister!
11. Smiling and laughing! my favorite things to do even though Weston may say otherwise 'cause I'm a booger a lot of the times! jk jk
12. Friends
13. CHOCOLATE and any kind of desserts!

The list can go on and on, and I hope and pray that I will always be able to recognize His hand in my life and thank Him for it.
