Give Thanks!

Today was a great day. The only thing that would have made it better would have been seeing my side of the family. I did get to see my brother Chris, which was nice. He is in town visiting his wife's family. I woke up dark and early (it was still pitch black outside) to run a race! It was so much fun. I met up with Mari's family in Orem to run a 4 mile Turkey Trot. We got lucky and it stopped raining just in time for us to start our run. We all finished in good times and were happy with our results.

Here we have my Chris, Patrick, me, Lauren, Carlo, Ammon, Katie, and Mari.
I LOVE Chris's face in this picture. He looks like he is 5 years old.

Mi y mi hermano. He always has the best bed head.

After our run we went back to Cim and Katie's house for a delicious breakfast. I love Mari's family. They are warm, welcoming and very funny. I got to meet baby Lily who has stolen my heart. She is such a gorgeous, happy little babe.

Chris, Carlo, and Ammon kept the kids entertained all morning long. They were wrestled and climbed on for hours. Thank you Carver family for having me join you this morning!

Josh played in the Turkey Bowl this morning and had the time of his life. After we got back from our morning adventures we went to Josh's mom's house for our Thanksgiving meal. It was delicious. We were able to spend quality time with extended family which was really nice.

Kennedy loves her grandpa. This is a common scene when she goes to his house.

After an active morning and a huge meal Josh took a nap. I thinks it's funny that he is holding his pillow instead of laying on it.

We played games, ate pie, and watched "The Grinch",

and Kennedy loved playing with her Monkey.

We hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving! Here are a few things we are grateful for:

• Our families and the support they provide us with
• Each other and the fact that we have a happy marriage. We realize that this is a rare thing and we are proud to say that we are a happily married couple.
• The gospel and the direction it brings to our lives
• Our jobs and that we are able to provide for ourselves
• The beautiful country we live in and all the freedoms we enjoy
• Josh is grateful for the Turkey Bowl, and he thinks that child labor laws are silly and outdated. He also said he is thankful to have me in his life.
  
• I am thankful for a new cozy bed. I completely adore sleeping and love sleeping on our Tempur Pedic bed.
  
• Our great friends. They bring joy and color to our lives
• Our healthy bodies
• Food. We both thoroughly enjoy eating and are glad we get to do it multiple times a day.

What are you thankful for?
