Thanksgiving in WA 2011

This year we were at my parent's for Thanksgiving, and while we missed Arrian's family's celebration in St. George, it was nice to be together with mine. I wanted to give my mom a break, so I did most of the cooking, and everything turned out really well (I'm not a chef, but it was pretty yummy)!


 I made Pumpkin and Pecan pies....so delicious!

 "Just keep it coming grandma!"



 I love this man so much. So so much!
 Arrian is a mashed potato genius and was in charge of that this year. DELICIOUS! He has a permanent job for the holidays...mashed potatoes. 









It was a nice day to spend with family and remember the things that we are thankful for.
This year and I am so very thankful for so many things:
-Arrian's dedication when it comes to his schooling. He is making such a sacrifice for us to have a more secure future and I love him for it!
-My family's generosity and willingness to welcome us in their home for as long as we need to stay.
-Our beautiful, sweet, kind daughter...I couldn't ask for more!
-The blessing the gospel is in my life. So many times I say a prayer in my heart and I am comforted to know that Heavenly Father listens to each and every one of my thoughts and prayers.
-An eternal family.

...and so many other things!
Happy Thanksgiving! This is late, but I wanted to document as much as I can.
