Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving with my mother. Matt and Melissa went to Melissa's sister's house, so it was just the 6 of us. After we got there I was working on the rolls, and Jesse and the rest were working to take the leaves out to the garden.

The boys loved the chance to ride on the tractor.

The boys were ready to eat long before we were ready to start!

Olivia was given free reign. Kind of messy when mashed potatoes and jello are involved! (But it may be easier to just eat with her foot!)

It was a delicious dinner, and we enjoyed ourselves. After dinner we worked to set up mom's new previously loved Christmas tree. It's the first time she's ever not done a real one, but that was just getting difficult for her to do. Not that this is any easier, and we couldn't get it all the way lit up, so we'll see.

On Friday we spent the afternoon with the Markhams. It was a fun little afternoon. We waited to do our shopping until Saturday. Missed the crowds, but still got some good deals!

I'm so glad to have so many things to be thankful for in my life. From my family, to my friends, testimony, and all of the temporal things that we are blessed with. I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.
