I have to write this down for posterity. Skip it if you like. I want this recorded so I can remember.
We were invited to a family in our ward's Thanksgiving feast. It was delicious!
Following in my mothers foosteps, I offered to bring the rolls made from her recipe.
They were delicious!
The food was great, our hosts youngest daughter was such a sweet little friend to Aftyn and
Bronwyn and both girls wore themselves out on the trampoline.
As we were preparing to go home, the wife suggested we use her phone and computer to set
up a Skype session to call my parents. Me being me, I didn't want to be a bother, but she insisted.
So I called my dad, got his screen name, and within a few minutes it was a small family reunion.
It was so good to see my parents. I'm thankful for that time I had to sit and talk with my parents.
It was really what I needed. I have missed them. We were over at their house for about 6 hours.
We watched "The Avengers" amongst all the chaos of playing and eating and kids napping.
Truly a nice relaxed family Thanksgiving.
We came home tonight and decorated and put up
our Christmas tree. After the kids were in bed and I sat on the couch trying to bask in the light
coming off of the tree, I realized that this tree that had followed us across the US to our new home
in Massachusetts looked a little forlorn in our "cold" apartment. Hopefully its warmth will return
tomorrow when I move it over by the window. Something about a Christmas tree in the corner of a
room near a window where others might catch a glimpse of its sparkly lights. And then I'll put up
a picture, with my two very excited girls in front of their favorite new attraction. :)
Loving our ever changing, crazy, fantastic life
