Much to be Thankful For

I finally get to post about Thanksgiving! After a crazy weekend of shopping, Christmas decorating and cards getting ready to go in the mail, I get a chance to do some blogging! Since my family are losers and are out of state or with their in-laws or sick, we spent Thanksgiving this year with our good friends the Marchant Family! We had lots of fun cooking, eating, playing, planning Black Friday and goofing off!

Brett and Bradlee got in trouble for looking at the adds before the ladies, I mean who does that!! j/k
Ashleigh: The teenager I live through so I don't do it to Rachel! What a cutie!
Most of you who know me know I LOVE food; here's our starter food before the big guns came out:):):)
Nena and Ashleigh cooking; don't worry I helped too:)
Jayden was bored so she played with her high chair, how adorable!!!
Rachel and Allyson played guitar hero; Rachel can't really play but she had fun trying!
Bradlee took a nap while Brett took a shot at guitar hero. He got really into it, I thought it was pretty funny! The kids took a break and went outside on the trampoline. I was out there with them for a while, but then toes were starting to go numb!
Ashleigh, my brother Jonathan and Mayson: we're proud of the food, and hungry!
The gang ready to eat! Rachel thought she'd be cute and make a face, but she's still beautiful! It was pretty funny, as soon as we sat down to eat Jayden fell fast asleep. She somehow slept through all the laughing and crazy noises we made, I guess she's just used to weird people!
We had a great Thanksgiving, and we have much to be Thankful for. IF I listed them all it would take all day; we are truly blessed to live in this country, have our family and friends and most importantly the gospel. I see small miracles each day and am grateful for the positive and good I see in the world. That is what I am focusinig on this year: hope, love, peace, our Savior.

You are so lucky to be with the Marchants -- that is a great Thanksgiving. Sounds like fun.

I'm so impressed that I got your Christmas card in the mail today! The first one of the year. How do you do it? I love it, can I copy those envelopes? I still haven't planned mine, that's why I'm sitting at the computer looking at blogs.

The starters filled a whole table! You could have just had that for dinner! Everything looks so yummy and it looks like you guys had a great time!

PS: I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of your Christmas card! Hopefully the mailman will be here soon!
