Ok so we decided to park our bodies home and enjoy the Holiday with our little Family!  A couple of weeks before we had a family Thanksgiving at my brothers and last Sunday we had Thanksgiving with Ken's Family at his Mothers.  I couldn't  pass on just spending time with our children especially when Dakotahs plan is to serve a mission.  Meaning that he graduates in May and turns 19 in July and hopes to be able to leave right after his Birthday. That means we will be without him for 2 years and I am NOT dealing well at all with this fact!  I am so HaPpY that this is his plan but I thought it would be a long time off, after all it was just yesterday I was holding him in my arms.  Tears are ALWAYS close when I think of him leaving and serving...both of happiness and sadness...YES you CAN feel both!  (I think the sad emotion is stronger at this point)

The big boys spent the first part of the day on the mountain and we then enjoyed a FEAST!  Ken took care of the turkey, potatoes and a beautiful apple pie!  He makes for a WonDErfUL wife!  How blessed I am for all the things that make my life complete....Family, Friends, The Gospel, A living Prophet, Scriptures, and of course A Heavenly Father and a Savior!
