Thanksgiving

I would like to take a minute and reflect on the blessings I have received this year. I have good health, a wonderful husband, a missionary in the field, and four sweet daughters. We have been so blessed this year with a warm home, food,clothes and above all a job. My hubby and I were at Costco the day before Thanksgiving picking out pumpkin and pecan pie for dinner. As I looked at all the marvelous food that was prepared in the meat cases, I couldn't help but get choked up by all the "richness" that was around me. We are so blessed!! As my missionary said, "Be grateful that you have a drink of clean water, many don't have even that!" I AM THANKFUL!!!

Trick or Treat

It took a long day and a very long night of sewing but I finished my 4th dd's princess costume. She said she felt like a princess in it. Her sister curled her hair for her. She wore a devil costume for the evening. It was bittersweet...It was her last class party and last year of trick or treating as the magical age of twelve snuck up on us.












My third dd went to a costume party and she won as the famous PROGRESSIVE lady named Flo...a very striking likeness don't you agree as she strikes a pose? We all agree that she is much more beautiful as a blonde.(Notice the perfectly straight teeth? Yippee! Braces are off!)
