We had a great thanksgiving, spent with some of our dearest friends out here in Columbus Ohio. Thomas ran his first race. The top picture makes me laugh, he doesn't look like the most enthusiastic runner! But the second pose was all his own! And it was his idea to stand on the pedestal too. He makes me laugh. He had a fun time running the little 100 meter dash.
I made a popcorn paper bag turkey and we set up the projector and watched Charlie Brown's thanksgiving special. The kids LOVED it. They ate 2 bags of popcorn all on their own.
The little lady slept through most of the dinner, but she made an appearance at the end and everyone was so happy to see this cute chubby face.
Thomas and Lincoln decided to reenact their race and line up their blankets in the hallway. Thomas has a lot of blankets. Those boys have so much fun together. I am so glad Thomas has such a good friend. The Glenn family have been a big blessing in our lives out here in Ohio, so thanksgiving wouldn't be the complete without them here. Our friend Jen also joined us, which especially made Thomas happy. He loves her. And Our friend Justin brought his family as well. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful people to care about in our life. Its always overwhelming for me to reflect on my blessings. I have been given so much. A beautiful family, two perfectly adorable and precious children, a wonderful husband who works so hard for us, in addition to our supportive family out in Utah. We also enjoy good health, a nice place to live and the freedom that comes from being American. We have had opportunities like education, travel and luxuries that many people in the world cannot even image. And we have been blessed with the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am a very lucky girl. I couldn't ask for anything more. I am blessed.
