Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with some really good friends in Sheridan, WY. The traveling was uneventful (which is a good thing in WY) and we made it there without any trouble. It was so good seeing Pat and K.T. and their little one Hannah. We were pampered the whole time we were there. I didn't clean a single dish, I offered by K.T. is such a gracious host I got to sit back and relax. It was a wonderful trip that ended too soon. Here are some pictures of the fun.



Little cutie Hannah. Ryan and Hannah played so well together. They were the best of pals!

Pat, K.T. and little Hannah the day we left. Cute family! By the way, Greg and I were there even though we have no pictures to back that up! :)


The next week Greg's brother Erick was in town so I decided to make Thanksgiving dinner. I have made all of the sides to a Thanksgiving dinner but I had yet to make a turkey. So I called my mom up and got the secrets to making a great turkey. She had tried a new recipe this year and has decided it is the best and will probably only cook a turkey that way in the future.

Here is the turkey before we put it in the oven. If you look closely the turkey is upside down. Apparently the turkey needed a good workout while being cooked because we flipped it 3 times during the cooking process.



Here is my trusty helper. With all of the moving of the turkey I needed all the help I could get!



This is supposed to be a picture of the finished product but I failed to capture that! At least you know it was well enjoyed by all since there is nothing left! :)

That is our Thanksgiving festivities for this year. As I finish off here I wanted to write a few of many reasons that we have to be thankful for this year.

- We have a Savior who was willing to die on the cross for us wretched sinners and give us the opportunity to go to heaven some day. What a sacrificial blessing!
-Greg, Ryan and I are a healthy and loving family
-We are having a healthy baby due in April
-Greg's job is going great. He loves his work and it supplies for our needs and some of our wants
-Our families are wonderful, caring and just all around great to us. We appreciate you!
-We have some of the best friends on earth and are blessed by all of our friendships

Just a quick thank you and there are so many more. I am excited to go into this Christmas season with a thankful heart!
