Thanksgiving 2012

So much to be Thankful for.
It was a very long year and I am thankful it's ending.
We welcomed Bridget into our family, Scott started his career, we are moving to a new home and we get to spend time with our family and loved ones all the time!

Nicoll Hike



Banks Thanksgiving

Classic black olives on fingers


So glad Grandpa & Grandma Banks are home for the holidays!

Lots of cousins to play with
FYI: Mack has the longest tongue I have EVER seen!

I think by that afternoon we were so tired that the camera disappeared.
But we went over to spend the afternoon with the Rays eating dessert and chatting it up.
I have a great Mother in law and I am Thankful for that:)

Then we went over to my parents house.
ate leftovers and played games.

Puppies are 4 weeks.
I won't lie, starting @ week 4 when the puppies are starting to eat mostly on their own, it's hard.
Lots of teething and pooping.

Yep, it's a lot of work. But right now I have my eye on the prize of them spending the next few weeks in our new LARGE backyard.
Have I mentioned how thankful I am for my husband!?!?!
He has been so wonderful to me especially these last couple months.
For example, on Saturday he did like 4 loads of laundry for me & on Sunday he let me take a 3 hour nap with Bridget while he cleaned and even mopped the floors for me.

I love him so much and am so thankful for how caring he is to me.
Sunday was our last day in the Cornerstone ward.
It is definitely bittersweet.
We have made many friends and it's sad to leave. I'm nervously excited to move into a new ward and hope it will be as great as this one was.

Love you Cornerstone Ward!

Our Thanksgiving

Our day started out sleeping in & oh was it wonderful!
Then Scott & Katelyn went on the Nicoll family annual hike. Mack & I stayed home so Mack could get a good nap in for the day. At noon we headed over to Grandma & Grandpa Banks' home for a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. So much yummy food, plus chatting it up with cousins, plus fun & games. It was great!
At 4:00 is was time to celebrate with the Ray family. Kathy made a scrumptious meal (Yep, we get two Thanksgivings- you are jealous, I know:)
I the Holidays and spending so much time with family.
It gets even more exciting when we get to celebrate them with our children.

Here's to the start of the Holiday season!
