thankful

the candy turkeys... they have been at our table for 20 years!

gravy goodness.

cute kids

we love pie. and aprons.

setting the table is my favorite part of thanksgiving :)

butter rolls = heaven.
it wouldn't be thanksgiving without them!

homemade cranberry sauce... divine.

mmm... pomegranate salad.

and of course, grandpa carved the bird.


happy thanksgiving!

happy birthday to my hubby!

things i love about richard:

1. his cooking. oh, so yummy!
2. he lets me call him "farm boy"
3. he's such a sweet grandpa to all 19 grandkids
4. he's a brainiac and he's really patient with
those of us who aren't :)
5. he doesn't dress like he's 64!
6. he shares my love for dark chocolate & diet coke
7. he's the only man i know who could survive a heart attack while roller blading

by the way, isn't this the greatest picture of all time??

Fall in Utah

Anyone who knows me well knows that I have
never been a big fan of the fall season...
I am a Spring and Summer girl.
This year, however, I must admit that it has been very
beautiful and enjoyable... today it is 65 and sunny.
What's not to like?
So, to all of you fall lovers out there
who look forward to it every year...
I have seen the light.

{ps... thanks to Bonnie for the great pics!}
