Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we stayed home and celebrated just our family. Brooklyn made fruit salad all by herself and Mason helped make the candied yams! I was amazed at how good they were and how helpful.

Then, while Mommy made the turkey, Daddy and the kids watched the Macy's Day Parade on tv.

I am so full of gratitude this year as we spent time preparing the food I kept thinking of how much our family has been blessed this year. Jer is almost Journeyed out as a lineman, Brooklyn is really progressing in school, Mason is growing more and showing his sweet personality more, Dallas is a happy and healthy little guy. I am so thankful for my family and how they raised me. I am thankful for Jer's family and that they raised him in the gospel. I couldn't ask for a better husband and friend! He is truly my partner and other half. Ever since our anniversary weekend and our temple visit, I have tried to focus on everything we have and not what I want or don't have. Since then, I have been overwhelmed with such thanksgiving! I feel so blessed and I hope to keep this feeling all year long.
