Thanksgiving

Oops I guess I should have posted this before the Christmas post :)

What a beautiful bird! It was a heritage bird and it was amazing if I do say so m'self.

Anne Marie our lovely neighbor made this A-mazing chocolate tart.

And this was my yummy pumpkin pie with almond crust. I also made some awesome risotto with butternut squash, garlic butter green beans, butternut squash gratin, mashed potaters and of course turkey!

Thanksgiving was lovely, my mom and Hyrum were able to come and hang out with us. It was fun to cook lots of food in my tiny kitchen. The food and company were great, we really have SO much to be grateful for.

The 2 things that I am most grateful for are the Gospel of Jesus Christ. which gives our lives meaning and direction and brings light and joy into our lives, and of course I'm grateful for my sweet family, both immediate and extended. I am so grateful for my healthy, sweet, beautiful, rambunctious free spirited kids! As hard as it is to be a mom, I have never wanted to do anything else with my life. It is fun and sad and crazy and silly and dirty and smelly and chaotic and amazingly beautiful work. I love my life and I am grateful that I get to be at home with my kids everyday!
