Thanksgiving, 2012

Our Thanksgiving visitors were so welcome!  I didn't think to take pictures until the morning they were leaving!  However, Wendy took many pictures of our day, and you can find out all about our Thanksgiving on her Facebook page.  (This was her first Thanksgiving.)  Bethany has her warmest hat on  - ready to brave the cold.  We really enjoyed Thanksgiving this year - everyone pitched in and helped, and we have much to be thankful for.  For now, it's back to Laramie for Seth and Wendy, and back to the windblown plains of Rexburg for Bethany.  We are thankful for all of our grandchildren - they are very special.

Thanksgivng Flowers

Our children know that we love flowers in the house - it seems like they take turns sending flowers without consulting each other.  These special autumn flowers from Julie and Mike came in time for us to enjoy them before the special day, along with our Thanksgiving company (Seth, Wendy, and Bethany).  May everyone in the family have an enjoyable Thanksgiving - we give thanks for all of our children and their families.

Thanksgiving

I can't believe that it is truly Thanksgiving time!  We've had the first snows, which have mostly melted on the flat, but there is still some frosting on the mountains.  This is a good time.  Seth, Wendy, and Bethany are here, and we will enjoy the weekend.  Wendy is going to make her first American pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, but we're fudging, and using some pre-prepared pie crusts and the pumpkin pie mix in the can.  A slow introduction should be successful.  We are counting our blessings, since my pacemaker is working better now, and everything all around is brighter.
