Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving break last week.  It was nice to have all the kids out of school for a few days.  We had an unusually large (for us) crowd for Thanksgiving dinner.  Our friends the Swindles came, and so did Megan, and two friends from China, Zilu and Enji.  Allison made way too much food, and it was all very tasty.  It was a beautiful day, so we went to the park for a while.  And of course we watched some football.  It's always nice to see the Cowboys lose.

So the holiday made us think about the many things we are thankful for.  Our family, the gospel of Jesus Christ, a home to live in, food to eat, and a free country, to name a few important things.  And then there are the less important things like the Price is Right, pillows, and Pop-Tarts.  There's a very big list of things we have to be thankful for, and we feel very blessed.

One more thing to be thankful for: our Cougars.  It's been a tough football season, but we can always hope for next year.  And now the basketball season is upon us and Tyler Haws is looking like the next Jimmer Fredette.  Unless, of course, Jabari Parker is the next Jimmer Fredette.  Jabari, if you are reading this post, the kids below want you to come to BYU.
