Thankful!

As always, we went around the table at Thanksgiving dinner and we had to say something that we are thankful for...and I really liked what Curt said. He said he is grateful for cars that allowed us to travel home for the holiday. It was such a fun trip home and there's no place I'd rather be than with family during the Holidays! We ate way too much, slept more than we had all semester :), watched lots of football, played cards like old people, and loved every minute of it all!! We have so many blessings and are grateful for all our wonderful family and friends. The Gospel is such an amazing blessing and I love how it brings us closer together as we remember that we are all brothers and sisters.

As you can see, we are also very thankful for pie! My mom's friend gave us a good idea. Since year after year we are so stuffed after Thanksgiving dinner, we decided to have "Pie Night" the evening before Thanksgiving. As usual there were way too many pies (Is that even possible?!) and so I had a sampler platter of each just like I do every year! The best part of it all?? We had tons of pie after Thanksgiving dinner too so I think "Pie Night" is just a great excuse to eat more pie! So basically, Thanksgiving was great, Black Friday was way too early (Crabby Curtis!) and Christmas break is just around the corner! Three weeks of survival mode with finals and wa la...Christmas will be here! And for those who know me at all, Christmas is what I live for! HAPPY DECEMBER!! :)

This would be my dad and little brothers sleeping outside of Office Depot for Black Friday..crazy kids! I'm glad I didn't get roped into that one!
