Thanksgiving

A couple in our ward invited us to come over to their house for Thanksgiving with them and their 5 kids. Their oldest is 16 years old and their youngest is 3 I believe. Dinner was really good. We had turkey and mashed potatoes of course, along with cranberries served with mandarin oranges, rolls, green beans, stuffing, and the most delicious sweet potatoes I have ever tasted. I don't like sweet potatoes very much but these were amazing. I will give you all the recipe so you can try them. For dessert they had a spice cake with pumpkin pudding in the middle and cream cheese icing. That was amazing as well! I baked 2 pumpkin pies to take over to their house as well. Delicious! After dinner we stayed a little while and chatted with the Lazo's. They are good people. We had a lot of fun!

We have so much to be thankful for! We are thankful for the opportunity that we have to live here in Derby, Kansas. It is far away from friends and family but we have good neighbors and a great ward family! We are thankful for Michael's job which provides for our family and allows me the option of staying home and raising our family. We are thankful for my job and the opportunity that I have to work with the kids and learn from them. They are adorable and I have a lof of fun with them. We are thankful for the opportunity that we have to become parents of a son of God. We look forward to March when we get to welcome him into our family! We are thankful that we are able to have Parker come and live with us. He is a good person and a lot of fun. We are thankful for our friends and family and for all of their love and support. We are thankful for the gospel in our lives which allows us the opportunity to live with our Father in Heaven again. We are grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice for us. We are thankful for his great love for us and we are eternally in his debt. We hope you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving and we love you all!
