Thanksgiving 2012

For Thanksgiving this year we did the same as last and helped run the hunting club for the morning.  Dave and the kids went early in the morning to help catch the pheasants for the hunts.  They had fun chasing the birds and catching them. After they got the birds caught we got to help plant them for the hunts.  Caden and Aspen didn't want to help with that  - they liked the warmth of the clubhouse :)  After the hunts we ate our yummy thanksgiving meal there and hung out most of the day visiting and looking at the black Friday ads. Kaylee had been dying to hunt all day she brought her BB gun and had shot it at targets throughout the day but wanted to hunt birds so Kole and Krista took us out for a hunt. It was a blast! His dog is awesome!

I seriously feel soo blessed to have so much. Healthy beautiful kids that make me so happy. A truly amazing hubby who treats me like an angel that I love to death! A warm house, our fireplace (as its snowing outside) Always enough food to feed my family, my amazing friends and neighbors. The best family ever -  And in laws!! The love of my savior and his teachings. Honestly, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude for all that I have and thank my Father in Heaven!!
