I love when my teenagers hook up with friends
to see the temple lights.

Thanksgiving 2011





For the first time in way too long Scott and I had all




seven (now eight!) of our children home for Thanksgiving.




It was wonderful! My mom and Scott's brother and sister and their families




were able to join us too. It's such a great blessing to




spend time together. We ate, shopped, went to a movie,




worked on a puzzle, and visited. I loved it! Next year we




will be off to Utah. While I love playing hostess, it's also




fun not being the one in charge!
