Thanksgiving 2016

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving together as a family.  Craig got the day off, but of course had to work Friday and Saturday which really stunk, but that is another story for another time.  My sister Sunni came in town from Rexburg with her family and so we spent a lot of time over at my parents house.  Brooklyn was in Heaven with all of the cousins she got to play with over the weekend.  Although we spent most of our time at my parents house, we ate dinner at our house with two of Craig's brothers, Brian and Eric, and their families.  We split up all of the cooking duties (Craig and I did the turkey and we are quite proud of how it turned out) and ended up with a delicious dinner and way way too much food, but that was just fine by me because I didn't have to cook for 3 days after.  We really enjoyed all of the time with family and are very grateful that we get to live so close to so many of our family members.  We of course missed Nana and Pops who are serving their mission in Alaska and my brother Tucker who is serving his mission in Arizona, but they were there in spirit and we talked with Craig's siblings who weren't able to be there either.  My older sister Tiffany had her baby bright and early Thanksgiving morning, Rykker William.  So they were missed for dinner, but I guess they had a good excuse.  We truly have so many things to be thankful for and know that everything we are blessed with is from our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ.  What a wonderful time of year to focus on all of the things we have been given.
