giving thanks

 Thanksgiving this year involved a lot of travel time.  We were good with that.

 

First stop early morning was to Grandma & Grandpa Ladanye.  They were going to come

down to SLC, until my dad fell and broke

his back.  A long car ride was too painful.

We had an enjoyable morning with them, then hopped in our car for the drive 1 1/2 hours

south.  

Lunch was a quick one with both of my sisters. 

The Pearsons had to leave for Vegas by 2 pm-

so we ate fast and said goodbye.

 

Home again for a quick minute, then off

to Kyle's family for "dessert" and games.

 

We managed to squeeze everyone in this

year and it was nice to see as many

people as we could.

We are thankful for all the blessings in

our life.

The short list would include:

 

Family

Loved ones/friends

 

a job for kyle

a home

 

a great neighborhood in which

to live and raise our children

 

great leaders in our church who

help "raise our kids"

health 

It was great to spend time with my kids

this weekend.  We had some "fire and

movie" nights and just hung out.

Kyle did his usual "Black Friday" run (he

started at 2:30 AM this year.)  I did my

usual "sleep while he shopped" run this

year.  We both loved time well spent.

His youngest sister braved the crowds with

him and they had fun.  

Happy Thanksgiving--I guess we're

now moving swiftly toward Christmas.
