Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today we spent Thanksgiving with the Petersen Family at my Aunt LeeAnn's house.  Everything was great and we had a wonderful day!  James had to work part of the day (Thanksgiving so that he gets Christmas off), but made it to dinner just before the prayer.  Molly, Jack, and I rode up with my mom, dad, and Willie and had a fun ride.  Molly had fun playing with Elli-Wyatt in the basement and Jack accidentally hit Quinn in the face (he was just a little over-excited).  I took sugar cookies, zucchini bread, and squash bread (it wasn't gross, but strange and made to get rid of a squash, but a few people tried it and my Uncle Paul said he actually liked it, but maybe he was just being polite).  We ended the day by stopping at Grandpa Huber's for a quick visit and then home.

I have so much to be thankful for . . . family, a home, wonderful kids, a husband, family, siblings, a car that runs, a good job, good people that take care of my kids so I can do my job, family, the Church, cheese, potatoes, family, our country, knowledge, family, crazy 2-year-olds, cute and happy 6-month-olds, Coke, grandparents, in-laws, Disney movies, family, and many, many other things.






(The pictures above were taken from my sister's blog because I didn't take a camera.  I like this picture of all of us - minus my mom and dad - because I think it is actually flattering of me!  I also like Wyatt's tongue sticking out and Quinn's crazy glance.  I am, however, shorter than everyone.  Sigh.)

Welcome Home Elder Leatham



My cousin, Travis Leatham, returned home after serving a 2 year mission to Taiwan.  He looked exhausted, but otherwise, good.


Waiting for him to arrive.


Still waiting.


Anxious parents.


Most of the crowd there to greet him.


Ta dum . . .  Welcome Home Travis!!
