Thanksgiving

 We had a great thanksgiving this year. It started with a day in chicago with Haylee, Luke, and Lily. We walked down Michigan Ave, ate at Gino's East Pizza, and swam in their downtown hotel pool. Then we headed to mom and dad's a couple days later where we ditched dad with all the kids to babysit (where he slept for part of it, but we made sure Colin and Brannon knew what was going on) while the rest of us when to see the final Twilight movie. Then we just hungout, took some pictures, and cooked cooked cooked. Everything was super yummy! Dad's friend from College-Alan Taylor was in town with his daughter and son-in-law who live in chicago for school so they came to eat with us.  After we went home I had SO much to do for primary and our upcoming trips and christmas that I wasn't going to set any Christmas stuff up since we would be gone. Well, Colin and Brannon didn't like that so they went to the attic and got everything down themselves and all three boys put the tree up and decorated it by themselves. They even cleaned the mess up afterwards and ran all the boxes back up to the attic! Such good boys!! We have so much to be grateful for right now. Life isn't always easy but we are happy and healthy and try to find some joy in every single days...despite how difficult and tiring some may be.
