Thankful

 We had a great Thanksgiving this year and have so much to be thankful for.  First and foremost on my list this year is that Josh finished his last away rotation and got back in time to spend it with us. 

 

 

 I am also so thankful that my mom had the whole week of Thanksgiving off and that my parents came to visit.  I am so lucky to have parents that are not only so good to me but that my kids absolutely adore. 

 

 

We debated what we wanted to do for dinner but after calling pretty much all the restaurants in town and finding out that they were all closed (how dare they want to spend time with their families!!) we knew we would be cooking something but I didn't really want to deal with a full turkey.  Luckily we went to Sam's Club a few days before and they were sampling this deep fried turkey breast and it was delicious and super easy.  So we went with it



and decided to make stuffing, funeral potatoes, and green beans with almonds to go with it along with pumpkin cheesecake crumble bars for dessert.  Somewhat festive and totally delicious.  As an added bonus it was in the high sixties and beautiful that day. 

Also on my list of things to be thankful for this year:
-two healthy, happy kids and another little GIRL on the way!
-the gospel of Jesus Christ and modern day revelation from living prophets
-a husband who works so hard and has found something he is truly happy doing
-the opportunity Josh has to interview with so many residency programs
-a great house to live in in a good community with a great support system of friends and neighbors
-the gift of being together again as a family
-great in-laws, and an interview near their new house that gives us an excuse to go visit them next week!!  We are super excited to see them and to have some time together as a family.
