HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Well, the Thanksgiving weekend is officially over. The company has all gone home, and the house is slowly returning to normal--whatever that might be. But oh what a party we had. This is the first time in six years that I have had Thanksgiving with my family. We had it here at our house, which was lots of fun, and we had a houseful. I think the official number for Thanksgiving was 25. It was lots of time and hard work eaten up in just a few short minutes, but what a blessing to be together, to be able to celebrate and to have such a bounty. How blessed we are. The weekend was full of all kinds of activities: pie night at the Wakefields, tearing Mom's living room apart, much hard work done refinishing the floor by the guys, a little bit of Black Friday shopping, a trip to see Mr. Magoriums Magical Emporium, the all important BYU-Utah game, for which we had another houseful of die hard party fans, and the big reveal of Mom's living room--it is gorgeous! Definitely a weekend to remember, and so much to be grateful for.
