Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we hope you all did too.

Grant's kindergarten class had an Indian Feast one day and a Pilgrim feast the next.  They made costumes for each one.  The Indian feast consisted of jerky, popcorn, raisins and nuts.  The pilgrim feast was stew, corn muffins, and pumpkin pie.  I was able to help out with one of the feast.  It was a lot of fun.  I don't remember Seth or Brenna doing anything like that in Kindergarten.

The Saturday before Thanksgiving we were lucky enough to have a visit from our friends in Oregon who were driving through the state.  It is good to see that even after 3.5 years our kids still enjoy playing together.
My parents joined us for Thanksgiving this year.  The day after, my parents and I flew down to Salt Lake to visit with my sister who was having a bridal shower and some other events to get ready for her wedding next month.  On Tuesday I decided that we should have our feast on Wednesday instead of Thursday so we could have a day to enjoy the leftovers!  So we did.  It was yummy both times. :)

Aren't my parents cute?
The works!

Because of our haste in preparing the feast a day early I only made three kinds of pie (but they were yummy!)



We feel so grateful for all of our blessings at this time of year.

It was such a treat to see you! Your Thanksgiving feast looks superb! The downside of traveling is no leftovers.

Everything looks delicious! Grant's costumes look great, too.

Only three pies? What a disappointment :). Three is a pretty good variety if you ask me.
I saw the picture of your family and the Hulls on their blog. I thought that I had clicked on yours on accident. Those harvest parties sound awesome. It's so good to spend time with family during the holidays.
