Thanksgiving keeps on GIVING

Of course it's fitting with it being Thanksgiving to reflect on all the blessings at the White House. We are TRULY grateful for all of them. Especially for our freedom (our thoughts are not far from Nick in Qatar...), our God, and our family. What more do you need in life?The day after Thanksgiving, we had a great day finding a Christmas tree. We drove up Ogden Canyon and found this great little, remnicient of the good old days, family tree lot, where they grew the most beautiful trees.
These sisters sure do love each other. Grace can't keep her hands off of little Lu, but I guess we all have a Lucy obsession.
We spent four days with Grandma and Grandpa, and even though we both live in Utah...it felt like such a nice vacation for us to spend it an hour away from our home...playing games, watching movies, eating great food, and getting ready for Christmas.
We got to spend a great day with Adam's family. We roasted marshmellows and made gooey smores in the backyard. Uncle Josh, Aunt Alison and Noah are enjoying the fun.
We're so grateful that Grandpa Joe is with us. He's such a fighter and we're grateful for everyday that we get to spend with him.
We also enjoyed the Discovery Museum with Adam's family.
Jared and Analia came up from California. Here are the "new" babies, Lucy, Shaunalia, and Brody.
Lucy found a new love. The bike!
Aunt Shari and Grandma Davis had Thanksgiving at our house. The cousins loved putting on a Thanksgiving Readers Theatre.
Grandma in the kitchen. The food was delicious and we had WAY TOO MUCH.
Lucy with all the pretty girls. We loved having Grandma Davis there. She's so fun and never misses a beat...jumped right in when we all discussed the Twilight movie. And she's going to Jerusalem a think this week. Nothing stops Grandma. She's always up for anything.
This Sophie loved turkey. She couldn't tear her eyes off it while Grandpa carved it for dinner. I would say, that was her favorite part of Thanksgiving.

I love all your pictures! I can still remember when we used to get together at Grandma and Grandpa's house for Thanksgiving! I miss those days!

Beautiful family! I can't believe how big YOUR kids are. Time goes way to fast! Lucy is adorable! Congrats on being a mother of four! We are hopefully coming up Christmas to New Years, maybe we could do lunch! It would be so fun to see your kids, they could teach mine how to play in the snow!
