Thanksgiving

I apologize for the lateness of this post, but Peter and I have been trading off colds the past couple of weeks and well to be honest I have been too tired! We had a very low key Thanksgiving this year. Alan had Thanksgiving day and the day after off of school and with his crazy hectic schedule we decided to stay home and have some family time together which was perfect. I can't remember the last time we just got to spend leisure time together. Peter was in heaven. He was in total daddy withdrawal yesterday and I can't even count how many times he has asked me where daddy is today.

As I was cooking for Thanksgiving dinner, I walked outside to take the garbage out and this is what greeted me...snow! I can't remember the last time we had snow in November! It made for a chilly day but we where all warm and toasty inside and we ate ourselves silly with all kinds of yummy goodies. I love cooking for Thanksgiving! Most of the week this is how you could find Peter accessorized. I have always tried to have him wear a tie to church so he gets used to it and I don't have to fight that battle later and lately he has been very excited to put on his tie, especially since he put two and two together and realized that dad wears one to church as well. So if Alan leaves a tie around Peter insists on wearing it. I think it is totally adorable, and he is pleased as punch with himself.This particular day he would not take it off, so we wore it everywhere and well no outfit is complete without Lightening McQueen sunglasses.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving-I know that I have SO much to be grateful for that I could fill pages with my blessings. But most importantly I am thankful for my husband and boys, for my family, the gospel and having a temple so close. I am grateful for those who spend countless of hours in service of others in so many ways and I am thankful for all those small and big moments when the Spirit touches my heart and I remember what is really important in life.
