Thanksgiving!

We have an extraordinary amount of things to be grateful for!  I always marvel at how very blessed we are.  I sometimes look at what is focused on in our news cycle and in American daily life and I feel like the things that we think are hardships are signs of a truly luxurious life.  We are so so blessed on so many levels.  I am mostly grateful of my amazing husband who just keeps on loving me, supporting me and the kids and just being plain awesome with out so much as a thank you.  I feel like he does a thankless job with so much grace and love.  He is amazing.  I am so thankful for each of my kids that I have been so blessed to have without any struggle.  So very blessed to be blessed with children.  They each have their own unique gifts and strengths and struggles that help me on a daily basis become a better person.  And although I fail mostly, I hope that above all they know how much I love them.  I hope they cannot doubt that.  I am grateful for the families that me and my husband come from.  We are truly blessed in that regard!  Both my parents and my husband's parents are wonderful people who sacrificed all to raise a family and teach their kids to be good people.  I am eternally grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and his gospel that is here on the earth today.  I am grateful for the prophet and modern day revelation, and I am grateful for my own personal witness and testimony to the truthfulness of these things.  I am so grateful to have testimony firmly rooted in the ground on this and a love for my Savior that will not let me leave him.  Because things are getting crazy confusing, yo!!  Okay, don't know why I went all gangsta there, but needless to say.  I am grateful!  Praise the Lord!

I'm also grateful for the Thanksgiving tradition involving food!  Yum!

 Bad lighting, but look at that cute baby b!

 Grandma and grandpa had these fun craft foods for the kids to create!  Grandma is the best!

 Sadly, we had to say good bye to our dear cousins and aunt and uncle who were moving to Cali the very next day!  WE miss them so much!!!

 Sofie sandwich!  The best kind.

 We spent the rest of the weekend relaxing with more family.  These two kissing cousins just love each other!
