Thankful for Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day at our house is one of my favorite days!  I love everything about it.  I love the smells, the tastes, the fun, the games, the feeling.  But mostly, the people. This is the last Thanksgiving that we had Grandma Larsen with us.  She looks so bright and alive and beautiful here.  And that is exactly how I hope we can all remember her!  
Jen playing with the kiddos of course!  Having a ball!

"Hmm, I could eat me some finger, I mean turkey right about now!" 

Sam was wiped out...and this is before we ate I think too!  Holiday=sleep day for some.

Grandma helping prep the napkins. It was so neat to have her with us!

Daddy-o carving the beast!!

Dave's plate.  Just kidding!

Jen is ready!!

At the table and ready to feast!

I am so thankful for my family!  We have so much fun together. I love just having a day where we can lounge and hang out together.  
Love them.
Joey, Des and Nik hanging out.

"Where's the PIE??!!??"

Always end with pie....or start with it.  haha!  Had to make sure it wasn't disgusting!  I have no faith in my homemade pumpkin pie. Yet, every year I keep trying. Someday i'll be good at it.  For now, I am still so grateful for pie!!!

Family Hike

We decided we needed a family adventure!  Just down the road is the San Tan Mountain Regional Park with a bunch of trails and a little visitor center.  So we packed a lunch and hit the trail!

It was so nice to be outdoors together!  We need to do this more often, that's for sure!

Our gorgeous "winter" desert and sky.  Love it!

Random Cute Kid Shots

Our little ALA Patriot!  I think this was on Veterans Day.  I love this picture!  
  
Here's our little boy who isn't very little anymore.   

Laughing together....my favorite pictures!

These two really are best friends.  It makes me feel so happy when they play well together, which is more often then most I think.  Yay for siblings!
