Thanksgiving

We got the wonderful privilege of having Thanksgiving three times this year :) We had an early Thanksgiving with my extended family in Monroe last weekend which was a blast. So many happy memories in Monroe with the Johnson fam. Then we were blessed to have my sis, Teona with us this Thanksgiving on the actual Thanksgiving day so we decided to do it all again to celebrate since we only get her fam every other year. So we went all out and went shooting in the morning( which I did not so bad this year I'm excited since I only get practice once a year ), then we came home and decided to go play Pickal Ball (spelling?). Teona has been playing and fellin love with it and so we all got to learn. It's a fun game but frustrating cuz I'm not very good... Then we went home and decorated for Christmas and had the Thanksgiving dinner after Jeff got home from work (Yep, he had to work on Thanksgiving! but he has Christmas Eve and Christmas off this year so I guess I will forgive the scheduler!)

THEN we were blessed to have Thanksgiving with Jeff's fam on Sat night and decorate for Christmas over there.

SO I think it is appropriate to express my gratitude in this post for ALL of my incredible blessings. I truly have been so blessed in my life. I have two AMAZING families who I love and appreciate and who serve me and my family tirelessly. I am so grateful for the gospel. That I am a member of the LDS church. It is everything in my life. I am grateful that I know my family can be together forever if we live righteously and rely on our Heavenly Father. I am grateful for my Wonderful Savior, even Jesus Christ who suffered and died for me that I may live again with my Heavenly Father someday. What a blessing. I am so grateful for my incredible husband and my beautiful children. I truly have been blessed with so much more than I deserve. And thank you to all of my dear, dear friends. You are all wonderful and mean so much to me. I have been so blessed by each and every one of you. Thank you and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
