Thanksgiving is Such a Blessing!

This year I was especially excited to celebrate for Thanksgiving.  I had only seen many of my siblings and their spouses for just a few hours in June after we got back and I couldn't wait for them to come spend a few days in Idaho.  We all had a great time, ate delicious food, and stayed up way too late!  Families are the best!

Here are some photos from the day

Caleb totally beat!

Friday morning we went to the temple with the kids who can do Baptism's for the Dead.  Apparently we weren't the only ones with this idea. We got to the Rexburg temple at 9:15 and it was so busy that we didn't get out until after 12.  It was cool that Bryce was able to help out with baptisms and confirmations of all of these kiddos.  Afterward we went to Costa Vida.  I think it made it worth the wait!

It was such a nice weekend and just fun to have everyone around.  Thanks everyone who made the drive to come visit.  It is so nice to have Mom and Dad close to us now.  We got to spend more time with everyone this time.
