Thanksgiving

I am a bit behind on blogging! Haha! Sorry! I have been sorta busy. But mostly just didn't want to do it because it is SO time consuming! Haha! Our Thanksgiving was great! We got to go to 3 this year! Brady's step-mom Julie had a bunch of her relatives over so we stopped by for a few minutes. It was nice to have her new kitchen! So much more room!! She finally got new chairs for her humongous table!! They look so great!! That means GAME NIGHT!!! Haha! She cooked the turkey all by herself and it was very good! We all loved her potatoes! They were so stinking good! Then we found out her secret! She had ordered them from Texas Road house! haha! Cooking the turkey and other things she didn't have time for it all! Nice Julie!! Next we went to my grandma's. Thanksgiving and Christmas are HUGE deals for my family!! Holy cow!!! We had a delicious lunch with everyone and then the BIG event!! The gingerbread houses!! This is like a requirement every year! Even last year when we were with Brady's family we had to go over the next day and decorate ours. I seriously think that there is more candy spread out on those tables then Walmart has for all of Halloween!! Yea a lot! So fun! Then that night for dinner we went down to Brady's mom Jody's. She decided this year to deep fry her turkey! So awesome!! Brady and Josh (his brother) were in charge of cooking it. It was freezing out there!! And the girls and Braxton were inside! Brecklyn helped Nana make potatoes and corn. When dinner was about over Wade and Shailey came with their dogs. This was Gus's favorite part! He loves his "puppy cousins"!! They have 2 great danes and a britany spaniel. One of the great danes Blaze is so funny! He is HUGE! You will see in the pictures!! And he is scared of Gus! Gus came running towards him and Blaze jumped up on the couch! So funny! The dinner was so good! I really liked the turkey that way!! I think though my favorite part was dessert! Josh made a really yummy pumpkin pie!! It was mixed i think with pudding!! It was so creamy and yummy!!! It was such a great day!! I have so many things to be thankful for! My wonderful family and friends! My home, food! I am also thankful for our jobs! So many people don't have them right now!! I am so very greatful for the gospel of Jesus Christ! Without it i would be lost! Truely!! After loosing Murry and our baby i think the two of us would have fallen apart without the gospel! We have recieved so much comfort and peace from our Savior! We KNOW we will see Murry and our little baby again! In the meantime we have 2 amazing angels! I often feel their spirits in our home! It is amazing! I am truely blessed beyond measure! I hope you all had a great holiday!
