Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

We had a fun day full of family and food. Although I missed my family quit a bit this year. Most of Sam's family was together. We did miss all the Torgersons and the Isham kids. It was fun to have Grandma Nina there to enjoy the dinner. Her funny jokes just enriched our day. Sam got called out just before dinner but was able to stay and eat. He left shortly after dinner but the kids and I stayed the night (Jennie wanted to see twilight again and I couldn't pass that up). After the movie we had to stop at Walmart it was almost closing time and they had all the sale stuff out so we did some scouting. Jennie and I woke up after 2 and 1/2hrs of sleep to start off Black Friday with a bang! Then I headed up to Provo for some more shopping with Dottie, Emilie Lynsie and Kim. Before we left I took some car sickness med. but I wasn't paying attention and took a whole dose instead of my usual 1/2 oops. By 1:00pm I was so tired I was crying over nothen' at lunch. I couldn't figure out why I felt so yucky until on the way home Sam suggested I take some motion sickness med. It finally hit me I already had taken a full does for 24hrs. I slept from 5:00pm until 9:30am! Thanks Baby for taking the kids I love you.


Lynsie spent most of Thanksgiving day doing massages. She worked for quite a while on me, it was so nice. I was in dire need of her help. Thank you so much Lyns! Little Trey was so sweet and patient as we all passed him back and forth. This was supposed to be the kids table just Abby and Gavin but... First Gabbie joined the fun... before we knew it all 6 of the kids were squeezing into this tiny space to spend more time together. This picture is dark but Abby, Gabbie, Maddie, Gavin, Harry are stuffed around the table and Kye is the overflow on the tile. Our Thanksgiving table thanks Dottie, Jennie, Emilie, Alan and Ben for all your hard work while I was enjoying my massage! Oh and Ash and Kim for the yummy pies they were so good!I'll close by listing only a few of the many things I am thankful for.
First off I have to say I'm thankful for Sam. I know it's cliche but he works very hard so that I can stay home and enjoy our kids. He also takes charge as soon as he gets home, helping me with the kids or dinner whatever I need that night.
Next I am truly thankful for the gospel and the changes it has made in my life this last year we are truly a happy family.

Parker I'm excited to see your pictures please post them soon.
