Jeremy and Heidi's family came into town for Thanksgiving
this year. They were here for an entire
week and it was so much fun to have them here.
Their kids are older and so it was fun to be able to sit and hang out
with them; we watched hallmark, talked about books, painted nails and played
games. Elizabeth loved playing with all
of them (with less people than at the reunion she was really able to play with
them without getting overwhelmed); she especially liked dancing with Eli and
dragging Sam around on her every whim.

| Wednesday= Pie Making Day!! |
 |
| Thanksgiving morning, Elizabeth and I made a Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. |
Thanksgiving day was great. The turkey was so tender that it
fell off the bones; I have never seen that happen before but it saved up the
trouble of carving it.
Our neighbors,
the Woods, came for dinner and it was nice having them.
Sam, and everyone who knew it, performed
their Thanksgiving Turkey song; it was pretty funny. We had 16 delicious pies
(yes, we were one over this year) and spent the evening lounging around, doing
puzzles and watching movies.

| Elizabeth stuck her finger in everything, to try it, and then ended up eating 3 servings of green bean casserole. |
Thanksgiving night, while we were watching a movie, Elizabeth climbed in between two boxes and I slowly started handing her toys through the crack. She got so many toys in there that I she was completely covered; I stuck the camera in to see her and I just have to say, she is adorable!!
On Saturday we went to Denver for Clayton Turner's
baptism. It was fun to see all of the
Arizona Stones who came into town for it.
Mom and Dad then took Elizabeth so that Ben and I could do to the
temple, while we were down in Denver. We did sealing's and it was a fantastic
experience; our sealer was awesome and would teach us and talk to us between
couples. On Sunday we went to my parents
house for a Thanksgiving with Sean and Heather.
The food was delicious and it was great to catch up with Sean.
We are so grateful for our family and the love they bring
into our lives. We are also so grateful
for the gospel and the knowledge that we can be together with our families
forever.
