"THANKSGIVING"

I am very thankful for this holiday season. I am very thankful for my beautiful children and my wonderful husband, the home that we have to live in and our health. I am so thankful for my family and friends, for the freedoms that we enjoy and for the love that the savior has for us and I in turn have for him.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my moms house this year and Blake was able to make it home on the morning of Thanksgiving. I always try to have all of my Christmas decorations up by Thanksgiving so that when we get home from dinner we are welcomed by the Christmas joy. Carver and Boston love the tree and lights. Carver makes sure that they are on all the time, all day long. Boston likes to look at the tree and I am very greatful that she doesn't care to much about touching it.
