Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving.  We saw so much family, ate plenty of food, and ended up snuggled in bed  exhausted.  We started our day in Brigham City with the Whipple's.  We helped Camille get dinner all ready and had delicious home made cheeseballs (by Sheralee), that were so good that we were sadly stuffed before dinner even started!  It was a small crew this year but still great company and fun was had.  We even sang the traditional 12 days of Christmas, we had enough glasses that everyone got a day!  We all groan that we had to sing it but secretly we all love it!


After hanging out with Whipple's we headed to Salt Lake and joined the Stapel family for dinner.  Unfortunately we were still stuffed so we just picked at a couple things but really had no desire to eat ever again.  This family is always fun and interesting, it was nice to hang out with my madre for a bit as well.


I didn't get any pictures at the Winn gathering but we did end the night visiting my uncle Matt & aunt Katie and my dad.  The Winn's also had a small group but it was still fun to see them.  Once again we were still so stuffed that we just enjoyed the company not the food.  People think we are crazy for driving all over but I love that we still have the ability to visit all of our family for the holidays.  We don't get to see them all nearly enough so I don't mind sacrificing one day a year.

This year (and everyday) I am grateful for my husband.  He is amazing, he is the rock that keeps me strong, he is my best friend, my confident, my everything.  I am grateful for so many things, including my family, but Raymond is truly everything plus more than I could ask for.
