Thanksgiving

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving day! It started out with some tennis with my dad, Jake, and I. Jake loves tennis so much that he'll play no matter what the weather is. It was 28 degrees when we started. He begged me to play so I bundled up and warmed up real fast once we started playing. I hate to admit that I lost both sets but the next day I won two sets of cut throat and my dad and Jake didn't win any. Poor guys, had to lose to a girl. :)

We had dinner with the Smith's this year and ate at a ward building since our family is getting too big for anyone's house. There were some advantages and disadvantages to this--it was fun having a gym to play in after dinner but there was no place to take a nice Thanksgiving nap! The Smith's are wonderful cooks and we had a fantastic feast! (I had my camera with me but for some reason I didn't take any pictures so that's why I'm not posting any from this dinner.)

Next, it was on to grandma Hart's house to have more pie and visit with the family. Janna and Luke and their boys were in town so we got to hang out with them and finally meet little Van. He is such a cutie! I made sure to take some pictures so the Lees could make it on our blog.

I love Thanksgiving! It is THE best holiday ever invented. You don't have to buy gifts for anyone, you sit around all day with your family, and you stuff yourself silly with the best food in the world! What could be better than that?

I am so grateful for so many things to list them all would take hours! I'm so blessed sometimes I get overwhelmed by all that I have. I love my family so much! I have such a wonderful husband sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky to get him to marry me. He is so good to me. I have the best parents, siblings, in-laws, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends, nieces and nephews in the world! I hope you all know how grateful I am to have you in my life.

Disneyland!!

Brooke, Laurel, and I got to fly down to California over Halloween. We met Kathy at Disneyland and spent two days there. Then we got to go down to San Diego and see Ty and Kath's new home and go to Sea World. It was a blast!

Happy Birthday, LynnAdele!!

Today is our mother/mother-in-law, LynnAdele's birthday. We wanted to wish her a happy birthday and let her know how much we love her! We wish we could have celebrated with her but since she lives in Indiana that wasn't possible this year.

Thanks for being such a wonderful mother! We sure love you and appreciate all you do for us!!
