Gobble Gobble!

The weather here is anything but consistent. We'll get 3 or 4 inches of snow and it will melt the next day and be absolutely gorgeous. We've actually enjoyed both the warm and the snow. Brock and the kids have taken full advantage of our short term snow fall by building snowmen, snow forts, and engaging in snowball fights.

A few short days later...this is the same background as the above pictures minus the snow. Brock organized a ward/community Turkey Bowl. There were close to 20 men who showed up to play in a friendly game of football. Colten is hiking the ball to his dad. It was pretty dang cute that they let some of the little boys play.

My nephew James played too. He came in the house immediately after the game complaining how sore he was. If he felt that way only being 19, I can only imagine how all the older men felt.

This isn't the greatest picture. I felt a little rushed and didn't have the right settings on my camera, but this was everyone at our first Thanksgiving at our new house. I was so glad to have my sisters Steffani and Gina fly from Las Vegas to be with us. I miss them so much!

Crafting! I organized a craft for my sisters, mom, and I to do together.

The finished product. Steffani participated too, but she had to head back to Las Vegas before she could finish.

We had such an awesome Thanksgiving holiday with our family. We have been abundantly blessed this year and as always have so much to be thankful for.
