Turkey Day!!

This year Brandon and I went to St. George for Thanksgiving. It was nice. Not nearly the crowd we are used to with the Bergeson's, but it was still fun! I think that it took us about 5 minutes to eat and we were done! :)
I just have to say that I am thankful for EVERYTHING. That is the simplest way to put it. I think one the the biggest things that I have realized this year is that I am so thankful to have food in our fridge and our pantry. It could have a lot to do with my job (dealing with people who don't have this on a daily basis) and having such a strict budget to live on, but I found myself staring at my pantry the other day and couldn't get over how blessed we have been. I know.. that is really lame, but it is true. I am extremely grateful for Brandon too of course, my family, and my testimony! Those are just a few to begin with.. I won't list the rest because they are endless! What a fun time of the year to remember and focus on the things we are thankful for!!


Grandpa Bergeson and TOM



The crowd eating.. YUM!!


Brandon's favorite part of Thanksgiving.. the football. He ususally has the remote in his hand though! Dad wasn't so excited to be watching!

Draining the juice.. my cousin Brooklyn was so disgusted with the turkey and there was no way she was going to eat it!! She was really worried about what the turkey's family was going to do without their dad! :)

Kitchen chaos!!

Our walk after eating to burn those extra calories!!

Looks like you guys had a fun time. It is weird that you are outside though...it's supposed to be cold on Thanksgiving!! I haven't talked to you forever! How are you doing?? And I don't think that you are being lame for being thankful for having food, I know I am. I think that being in graduate school is a big eye opener!
