Happy Thanksgiving!

It's hard to believe that the holiday season is again upon us! It always amazes me how quickly the years fly by. We had a terrific Thanksgiving Celebration. It started with an Aggie win over the Utes on Wednesday night. What a great way to start the festivities! Then the family all came out for pie night. I heard about another family that had pie on Wednesday night when they could still enjoy it. I have to say, it worked! The pie tasted fantastic! Then Ty and Amanda and the girls as well as Richie, Zac and Daren were here overnight. Robbie and Mari went home to Logan, but everyone else found a spot to sleep. Ted and I had the pleasure of a darling nearly three year old in our room. It was so much fun! We read some of my favorite stories before she went to sleep. It was funny because she picked "Katy and the Big Snow" by Virginia Burton. I always loved to read that especially after a big storm. Very appropriate after our Tuesday blizzard! Which while it was short-lived, was still very ferocious!!

Thanksgiving morning we had Liege waffles, a recipe from a town in Belgium. They weren't quite as good as Bruges in SLC, but they still tasted really awesome! Then on to getting the turkey and all the fixin's ready for dinner. Other than almost forgetting to make the stuffing, the meal was so good! I even ate some of Amanda's sweet potatoes! Anyone who knows me realizes how impressive that is! Then more pie! It makes me full just thinking about it! (Although that could be due to the spudnuts that I made tonight! I need to go back to work and quit baking such delicious treats!) After the dishes were done, we gathered in the living room to share our favorite blessings. It was such a great time together thinking about how truly blessed we are! I for one am so grateful for our growing family. It's such a blessing to add to our already fantastic family such great girls. I love my daughters in law and adorable granddaughters so much and am so very thankful for the beautiful promise that life brings! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
