Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so thankful for my beautiful family. They are so much fun to be around. I am thankful for my husband who is so patient with me and my children who love me unconditionally.Here the kids are tackling Papa.

Ethan and his cousins were jumping and dancing for Grandma's camera. I thought this was such a funny picture. We had dinner with Kent's family in Alpine, Utah. His parents, from Florida, were able to be there along with three of his siblings. There were 10 kids and 10 adults. The food was fabulous and the conversation was even better. There is never a dull topic with the Copelands. We had a great time.

After dinner we went through the ads to see which sales we would want to hit the next morning. Ella looked through so I would know which presents she wanted. Only a few more years and she'll be invited to do the shopping thing with us. (Okay- maybe more than a few...)
Although it was a "ladies" morning. George (Kent's dad) decided to go with us. I guess between the option of going shopping with the women or staying home with all the kids, he decided to take his chances with his wife and three of his daughter-in-laws. After we put him to work holding our place in line- which wrapped around the store- and keeping track of our many, many trinkets. Knowing what he knows now- I wonder if he would have made a different decision. He was a great help though and we were all glad he joined us. Love ya George!
