Thanksgiving: a great reminder to take time and be grateful! We have so much to be thankful for in our family. We have a healthy, happy, beautiful family. We live in a fabulous place with wonderful friends as neighbors. We have the best families and in-laws (both of us) :0) We have the knowledge of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have food to eat and a warm bed (I'm much more grateful for that now then I ever have been). We have the blessing of an education. We have cars to drive and places to go in them. We have family less than 5 hours away in three directions. Carson is grateful that "we have snow!" Connor is grateful for a "snack." We have so much. In addition, we have all of you who are reading this. Thank you for blessing our lives! Happy Thanksgiving!
The Family and the Feast
The snowball fight (can you see the tiny snowball about to hit Kevin's back?)
Our fantastic neighborhood friends gave us this sled full of winter goodies
including a snowball maker, a snow block maker (for the igloos the boys will live in if they are naughty), snowman mugs, hot chocolate and marshmallows, etc. All the good stuff we will need for a cozy winter!
Carson was a Native American for his Kindergarten's First
Thanksgiving feast. They did a little presentation and then sat down to a great dinner!

So very true. I feel blessed and think I take some things for granted too often. I love this time of year. It reminds me of what's really important. Glad you had a great Thanksgiving. This was the first time I spent a holiday without my family :( But I had my ward family and it made a difference.
I am glad you guys had a good holiday! We miss you and hope you stay warm and get used to temps below 70 soon! I can't wait for more pictures: )
I'm so glad you're enjoying life out there! I'm not sure if I'm jealous of your cold weather or thankful for our warm weather ;) If you have snow on Christmas I'll definitley be jealous!
Looks like you're all doing great out there. That must be unusal to actually go through the seasons:)
