The Highlights

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was a great day. Devynne, Cadie, Cody and Carson were here with us and it was so much fun to see them. We went to Nick's house where Jenn did a fantastic job hosting dinner. She made the turkey while everyone else brought side dishes and desserts. We brought Steve's mash potatoes and gravy and homemade rolls. I made cheese balls which Cadie and I loved. Delicious! We ate, played games and enjoyed being together.







Devynne's Birthday

Devynne turned 19 on November 28th. We celebrated her birthday on Friday the 26th by going to the movies. We saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (part I) and we thought it was a great movie. We then met the rest of the family (grandparents, Jenn, Nick, Mike and cousins) at California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. I can't believe she's 19 now. She's growing, changing, maturing and is a wonderful young woman. I can't wait to see what her future holds. We love her so very much and it was great to have her here.


Saturday Morning at the Temple
The next morning we met Grammy and Grandpa, Broc and Mikelle at the temple to do baptisms. It really was a wonderful experience being there with 5 of our kids (unfortunately, Devynne didn't make it because she had a hair appointment that morning)and Steve's parents. The kids were all lovely in their white clothes and it was so neat to see them all there. Thank you to Grammy and Grandpa for the great idea to do this. Afterwards, we all met Devynne, Jenn, Nick, Mike, Tayler and Cory at Blueberry Hill for breakfast.
