GRATEFUL ~ THANKSGIVING 2009

wow. what a fantastic year. last year at this time we were in ann arbor, mi with our dear friends following our annual tradition of the thanksgiving spread at weber's resort. this year we had quite a change....we were finally home for the holidays & boy, was it a celebration to remember! we started the day off with a mid-morning feast at my mom & dad's. they are famous for their delicious thanksgiving goodies. the kids ate & ate & ate. on the way back home to herriman they slept & slept & slept. it was perfect. in the early evening wesley's family began to arrive at our home for a lovely thanksgiving gathering & our 2nd dinner for the day! incredible to be back in utah, we never would have guessed. we are grateful for food, shelter, family, friends, children, health, safety, freedom, religion, education, jobs, and LOVE!

we are so very blessed.
