I am Thankful

Dear family,
can't believe we have snow --Nov 5th but we did and oh wasn't it fun? for those who got it---
I loved how it looked when I went out in it today...(didn't care too much for the cold ) but the snow was great~ how quickly the seasons change seems like we've enjoyed such a great "Indian summer " as it is sometimes called meaning:(a long fall season with great temps) that it is a little hard to welcome the change/// but each season brings with it so much beauty........don't you agree:?



We had such a fun time with this idea of pizza in the shape of a pumkin (from papa murphey's) then we made another homemade one from scratch --and made it like a pumkin as well
I am thankful for so many things --including sunflowers and the other wonderful things that grew in our garden this year--when I enjoy that Thanksgiving dinner I will reflect both on 1 the pilgrims harves and 2 on the harvest of our own personal garden what a great month for reflecting on our MANY blessings ( besides feeling that I am the "luckiest" remember how I love that song by ben folds I surely do feel the most blessed
reflecting back one more memory of this past month dad and I sure enjoyed serving scones again this year on Halloween dad was so good to help me get all set up--we had to hurray as Hayley and dad and I had the dough made but spent lots of time in the Temple in Manti earlier in the day==but it all worked out great...


Dear Family ( part II) ha I am making one big 'ole post for Oct and Nov I guess -hum.......
loving the joys of Nov and being thankful and remembering my many blessings. Mostly it gives me the same warm feeling Dec does with the Holiday feeling in the air--
but with more simplicity...I am going to keep both holidays simple this year and reflect on the blessings and joy of the gospel and family I am thankful for so many things --including sunflowers and the other wonderful things that grew in our garden this year--when I enjoy that Thanksgiving dinner I will reflect both on 1 the pilgrims harves and 2 on the harvest of our own personal garden what a great month for reflecting on our MANY blessings ( besides feeling that I am the "luckiest" remember how I love that song by ben folds I surely do feel the most blessed

just know that--we are THANKFUL for each of you and how you make dad and my lives so very happy
hope this is a great month for each of you in all the things you are doing
Love mom & dad
