Thanksgiving

Oh, I have so much to be thankful for! I love this time of year. It really helps me to reflect on all that I have been blessed with. 
The Boise temple was rededicated on Nov. 18 by Pres. Monson. It is now officially open!
Greg left the MTC on Nov. 19 for New Mexico. He got to call us from the SLC airport. It was so good to hear his voice!
Drew flew in that night for the week. It was so good to have him home!

We spent Thanksgiving at the cabin. This year it included, lots of people, no hot water (the pilot light kept going out on the water heater), and a big bonfire!

The little kids put pillows in their clothes and played sumo wrestlers!

Grandpa bought a ping pong table for the bonus room at the cabin.  So, I ask you, "how many guys does it take to put together a ping pong table?"

Rachel making pumpkin pies. Mikaela is suppposed to be helping, but I think she is the "Official Tast Tester!" Oh well, pregnant ladies get the benefit of a doubt!

Due to a shortage of oven space, Grandma cooks her turkey outside on the barbeque! Of course, it was perfect as always!

All summer, Grandpa has been cleaning off the other lot. He had a huge pile of tree limbs and undergrowth. So what do you do? You light it on fire!

All things said, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving! Even with the cold showers!  Everyone missed Greg, but look forward to 2 years from now when he will be home!
