Give Thanks

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent it up at my parents lake house with them (they were able to come home for a visit because it is the slow time during their mission) it was so fun to be there, My sister and 2 of my brothers were able to come, Steven and his family drove all the way from Texas to be with us. My parents just recently added a huge addition onto their lake house (see pictures) making it great for all their many grandkids. Here is a quick run down our fun.

We ate wonderful food and Thanksgiving dinner was expecially good. Stuffing with cranberries and pinenuts was my favorite this year. (Thanks Jenny for the recipe).

The kids played and played with their cousins and had so much fun.

The boys played football Thanksgiving morning.

I ran a little over 5 miles around the whole lake with Nicki (my sister-in-law), it was beautiful.

We Had a wonderful Davidson family get together Sunday before we left.

We went to church in Basin City, I love going home.

We shopped till we dropped on black friday getting up way to early and spending way too much money:)

We visited and made wonderful memories.

I have so much to be Thankful for. My family, friends and the Gospel of Jesus Christ are among my GREATEST blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving!

(I didn't do a great job of taking pictures but here are a few I did take)
