Gratitude

November was a month to be grateful and there is so much I am grateful for. Gratitude=Happiness. I am so grateful for this husband of mine. For my children. For friends. For my parents. For the Gospel. This month, Allan gave us a challenge to see who could come up with the longest list of things they were grateful for. Emily took it seriously and won with 141 things.

Happy Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving meal was delicious this year. Brined Turkey = yummy. Rolls = perfect. Homemade Stuffing by Joshua = delicious. Sweet Potatoes by Allan = disappeared quickly. Mashed Potatoes by Nathan = Creamy. Emily set and table and decorated. Lots of and lots of dishes to wash - Everyone helped. 

Three pies this year. Pumpkin by Allan, Blueberry Cheesecake by Joshua, and Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake by me.

Scouting rocks!!! We have so many great memories of scouting events, scout activities, and dedication to earn awards.

Allan earned his Eagle Scout Rank. Here he is with scouting memorabilia. The ceremony was well planned with the slide show, photographer, and refreshments.

Allan chose to give his mentor pin to his Dad. In Allan's words, "he pushed me and kept the wheels turning."
