Thanksgiving

We have many things to be thankful for. On Thanksgiving I sat down with the girls while our turkey was cooking and we made a list of things that we were thankful for. It was fun to listen to their cute answers. We are thankful for family, the gospel, our home and our nice neighbors, Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father, and many more things. The list could go on and on. Here is the list that Kaelynn and Hailey came up with on their own.



This year was the first Thanksgiving that we had by ourselves. It is fun to share this time with family, but it was a fun experience for it to be just our family. Nate and I tried a new way to roast our turkey and it turned out wonderful. We spent most of the day cooking and eating.


One of our favorite traditions is to go shopping on black friday. We enjoy looking through the ads for good deals, and planning where to go. We have taken our girls with us the past two years and they have done very well.

I am glad that we have this time of year to reflect on the things that matter most and what we have in our lives to be thankful for. I am the most thankful for my wonderful husband, my three girls, and the Gospel.

Happy Halloween!


We love Halloween! Kaelynn was snow white, Haiely was a purple dragon, and Chloe was a chicken. Yesterday was full of Halloween activities. We were able to go and see Kaelynn at school in a costume parade. It was fun to see everyone dressed up. After that we came home and got ready to go back and help with Kaelynn's Halloween party at school. Nate was able to come home early from work so we were able to get our house ready for trick or treaters. We went trick or treating with our neighbors and the girls were very excited. It was a good day and they got a lot of candy!
