Our Thanksgiving Celebration!!





We had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration on Tuesday the 25th.  Because of the shower on Saturday we thought we would do ours early and then our kids could go to their in-laws on Thursday without any scheduling problems.  There was basketball and Sudoku and earlier in the week we played Pit and Apples to Apples, just to name a few of our favorite games.  We ate a little late because I underestimated the timing on the turkey.  But in the end we were all stuffed with food and new memories and a deeper love for our families.  The Lord has blessed us this year.  Though it has not been easy, we have learned to understand things we could only learn by His help.  We are so grateful for all we have.  And we are learning to understand, in Elder Wirthlin's words to 'come what may and love it.'

I am shooting with a Cannon Rebel XTi. Very basic! I am dying to upgrade but that is going to have wait for now but I do OK with it. I love Sarah Goodmans work and I have some friends who are photographers and I really like Sheye Rosemeyer, she is fantastic.

you know what I love about the picture where they are playing basketball....everyone is so unique..and dressed in their own uniqueness...hilary...all cute and pregnant but yet classy, then you have jason in jeans and a t-shirt....then there is joey..in his usual collared shirt and jeans...then collin in comfortable board shorts...and then carl dressed up nice in slacks..it is just a fun picture to see..but yet it shows each individual personality...does that make sense??
