Week full of Gratitude

We had a great Thanksgiving! KC, Jes, and the girls came all the way from California for the entire week. They even made the ten-hour drive!! We now know it can be done, and its our turn next:) We had a week full of basketball, workouts, shopping, cousins playing, and food, of course. Its not only fun having KC here to play with Jared, but having Jes here is an added BONUS for me! It really was great having a workout partner and friend 24/7. The girls and Graham got along great! He is a lot older than the last time they saw him, and a lot more durable. Graham just followed them around, and loved the attention. They took turns on his birthday train. I don't know why I didn't take more pictures throughout the week, so all I have is Thanksgiving day. It was a combined effort from everyone. Thanks Connie and Jess for all of your hard work. Oh, and a special shout out to the roll lady, Katie.

The lovely Cali couple were a little cold this trip. They are used to temps in the 70's

My 1st pumpkin pie...it was a hit:)

Katie needed a place to make her rolls, and darnit she had to use our house..he he. She is quite the roll maker, and these might have been her best yet. I love that Jordans family lives in Kaysville. It brings Katie down for a visit with us, whenever she visits her in-laws.

We are truely, truely blessed. Life gets so hectic, and even hard sometimes that it can be easy to get lost in it. Thanksgiving gives us the opportunity to re-prioritize, and to acknowlege where our blessing come from, and just how many we have. I'm grateful for that.
