Giving Thanks
This was the first year we had our own Thanksgiving. Meaning we were the adults (too weird). My sister Anne and my sister-in-law Kayla and I took on the cooking together while the boys entertained the kids outside(thanks!). I did the rolls, drink, dessert, green beans, and stuffing....whew! That was a handful. We were cooking all day together and it was really fun, wow did I just say that? YES! The food came out great; no, not all of it was warm when we finally were done, but who cares, we did it! We continued traditions with going around the table and reading quotes and each saying 3 things we were thankful for. Brax: "bowling and nothing else"(wow, what a surprise), and Brady and I said the exact things: "each other, his job, and our new house" (what can I say, we are of one heart and one mind:). Well it's not our house yet, but we are closing on a town home at this very moment and hopefully everything will work out! We visited a nearby nursing home together after we ate, we should make that a tradition too. I am so thankful that I had some family to share and celebrate with.

Rach! You're closing on a town house? yay!! I'm so happy for you. You can paint and decorate exactly how you want-how exciting! Glad you guys had a great Thanksgiving!
So fun. I can't believe you had fun cooking! That is cool that you went to a nursing home too. I need to do more things like that with my family. Miss you all!
You had fun cooking Rachel? WOW! Glad y'all had a great Thanksgiving! I know what I would have said if I was there-one thing that I am always grateful for is u and the Bybee's love and friendshp! That always means more to me than anything and I am so happy y'all are getting that town house! :)
I am so glad you had a good Thanksgiving. I wish I had some of my family around. Anne and Sarah always took me with them to Vegas or St. George for Thanksgiving when we were at Ricks. I am glad you at least had Anne and David with you, even though you must miss the rest of your family. That's so exciting you're buying a townhome!!!
