Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

Our Thanksgiving Table

My favorite boys playing games!

My dearest sister in law and Jack!

Opa is the BEST turkey carver!!! Laine was fascinated!

The coolest part about my Thanksgiving was having my Uncle Jake here from the state of Washington. Jake is my mom's oldest brother. Not very often I get to see him. What a treat!


You'll notice my mom laying on the couch in the back. She had the flu!! :(

This is a random picture I had to throw in. Laine is in his Sparks vest and Ezra in his sleeper. Ezra is now ADDICTED to his sleepers. He begs for them every night and when you put them on him he says, "Awwwww." If he gets up from his nap and isn't in his sleeper, he begs to put them on again for the rest of the night! He would live in them if I let him! So sweet!

I had an incredible Thanksgiving Day! I was so thankful for how it turned out. Thanksgiving morning, Laine and I got up and watched the Macy's Day parade together. I fixed the "day of" Thanksgiving meal items, threw the turkey in, etc. Pretty soon everyone started arriving between 11 and 11:30. We had my family and my Uncle Jake who was in town visiting from Washington state. The most special treat ever. Having my Uncle Jake in my home! My dear mama got the flu. Either that or a really bad migraine, either way, she felt MISERABLE and literally laid on our couch the whole day. We all hung out til about 4:00 and then all headed out to my cousin Stephanie's house for a big Abuhl get together. MY OH MY, there were 40 in all! I was delegated to bring 100+ "family recipe" rolls to the gathering! Mind you, I had attempted ONCE to make a batch and failed royally, so, needless to stay I was a bit worried, but my mom gave me some tips and I think I got it! :) YAY! All had so much fun together. It RAINED AND HAILED here in the middle of our gathering. UNHEARD OF!!!!! It was so wonderful! I loved every minute of it. Came home and went to bed! I was exhausted, but so thankful for family, and especially for my dear husband who loves me no matter what! I'm thankful for you, my friends and family that love me enough to keep reading my blog! :) I'm thankful for my amazing CHOSEN children God has so specifically chosen FOR US! They are adorable!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
