This year we had planned to head to Utah for Thanksgiving but the weather was horrible that week so we ended up hanging out in North Dakota. We have some great friends here that invited us to join them for Thanksgiving. There were a bunch of us from the ward along with some of our friends' family and a few guys that work with our friend Todd. Tonya and Todd opened their home up to all of us...I think we ended up with over 40 people including the kids! They took their boat out of their garage and we used a big heater and it was perfect! We didn't have to worry about the kids spilling...or the big kids. ;) We had lunch at noon and ended up staying until after 8pm. I thought we would just stay for a bit and head home but we were having too much fun. Ivan took Levi home for a while for a nap but then came back. We had A LOT of delicious food! We played games and just hung out. It is so nice to have great friends when you are so far away from family. We are thankful for this great place that we live and for our wonderful friends that have opened their hearts to us. We are also thankful for good health, a place to live, our little family and our big family! We are truly blessed!

I had to sit there a long time to wait for Justin to move his arm so I could get a picture...he was sure surprised when I caught him! Justin is Amanda's husband. He was just baptized a couple weeks ago. It was a great day! And that is Tonya in the front keeping busy!
