Thanksgiving

Thursday Novmeber 28th, 2008
Today is Thanksgiving and it was a really good day. Our family has so much to be Thankful for- a nice house to live in, two healthy kids, this free country, great families, the gospel, the savior, ect. The list could go on and on, but we have a wonderful life to be very grateful for.
Anyway this morning we just hung around our house while Jake tried to get things outside our house ready for winter. He insulated our pump house so our water won't freeze, and built steps going down into the pump house. Then at 2:00pm we met at Jakes's parents, Diana and Fred Ball's house, to eat dinner. We were suppose to be there at 1:30pm, but of coarse you all know that we really struggle to be on time. So we were late like always. So anyway Diana forgave us for the late arrival and we ate dinner soon after.
Diana is a wonderful cook so the food was amazing!!!! Everyone in Jakes family was there but Liz and Matt. Angie and Bryon were not there, but they live in Texas. Diana's sister Kathy ate with us too. After dinner we cleaned up while the kids played outside and rode on the four wheelers. Andrew found a bike with training wheels and tried that out. He actually did really well. We will have to get him a bike for Christmas. He has been asking for one. I took some pictures of him, but I have not figured out how to post them on here yet so I will work on that.
Later we played Catch Phrase for a while and then everyone started taking off.
I am so grateful to those that made the meal. I never realized how much work these things are until I got married and had kids.
It was a really nice day!
