Thankful

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break with my family.  We reserved our church and did it there since there isn't a place to fit us all. Everyday in November up to Thanksgiving I had the kids write down on a leaf something they were thankful for and we hung it on the wall.

We also had fun going to temple square.  My sister, Rosemary took some pictures for me to use for Vance's baptism announcements. They look great.  I will share those closer to his baptism.  We also saw the new Disney movie Frozen and enjoyed that.
 We enjoyed playing with our youngest niece/cousin yesterday when my brother's family stopped by for a bit.  She seemed pretty fascinated by Stephen.  Not sure if it was his height or if he has a nice, deep voice like her daddy or what, but she seemed to like him.
