Thanksgiving

This year was a small Thanksgiving but with tons of food and love. I made my first pie and Greenbean cassoral. It tasted so good. Maybe I will claim those items every year (LOL). I am just so proud because I am usually given simple things after my sweet potato incident. We spent Thanksgiving at Kay's place with Jared's mom and stepdad and Nikki. It was so enjoyable and laid back. And it only took five minutes to drive there.



I am so thankful for my family and for the joy they bring to my life every day. I am so Thanksful for the gospel and for the promise it has for me to be with my loved ones for all eternity. I am most grateful for my Savior and Redeemer who has made that possible for me. I'm thankful to live in Utah and be near family and have the beautification that it brings. I am grateful for a supporting husband who is always there for me and for my friends and for the joy and fun they bring to my life. And last but not least, I am thankful to be an American and live in this beautiful country and for the those who fight for it.



Happy Thanksgiving!

Trunk-or-Treating

Tyler and Raquel with their next door neighbor, Westley. They get so excited when they see her.
The wind started to blow Tyler's hat off so he was holding it on.
Raquel was a monkey this year. Tyler was the monkey last year, so we put a flower by the ear for Raquel She even had a little monkey hanging on her arm. She loved it so much that she had the costume on the night before and would not let us take it off, if you even try to take her hood off she would get so upset.

Pumpkin Carving

Sorry the pictures are out of order!

Raquel really liked doing the stars on her pumpkin. Every hole I punched she would fallow with the knife.

The finished product.

Tyler did this with a tiny bit of help from his Dad.

Raquel is very artistic. Look at that cat.

Raquel really enjoy cleaning the pumpkin and eating it when Mommy and Daddy were not looking.

Tyler was a little afraid of getting his hands dirty. He would only scoop with his spoon and would not pick anything up with his hands. He would only get seeds if anything. It was so funny to watch.
