Thankful

We have much to be thankful for this year. We went from living 18 hours from our closest family member to being only 4 hours from our family. We were delighted to be able to host family at our new house for Thanksgiving. This was my first time to host a holiday at my home, and I was excited, but a little nervous about the cooking part. Unbelievably, I managed to cook a ham and a turkey for the first time ever. Of course I had tons of help from all the other ladies in the family. Everyone was so helpful!

Here I am posing with my first turkey. The lovely lady with me is Channing. It's hard for me to believe she was the flower girl in our wedding! Now she is a beautiful young lady and I really enjoyed spending time with her.
With family around, I was actually in some pictures. Thanks Michelle for taking this!
Harrison loved having family here and especially loved wrestling with his cousin Colten - and he has the black eye to prove it.
Family game night.


Granny and Pa were surprisingly good at Apples to Apples.
