Thanksgiving!
(at our house)

The Elders came. Well, it was actually like a ward missionary correlation meeting reunion since all of us we celebrating Thanksgiving together. Jon's the ward missionary leader and I'm a ward missionary. Speaking of which, this past Sunday (in January) Jon was asked to organize a missionary sacrament meeting. He chose the speakers and music and prayer givers. He did a really good job. Our ward has a new game plan on helping the members feel comfortable spreading the gospel, and Jon did a really good job explaining that. Our missionaries right now are fabulous and they're really doing a good job helping the members.

The gallery became the play room for all the kids. We had 5 young ones and four teens. It was a blast. Everyone did really well. Thank goodness we had enough rooms for the toddlers to take naps in. That was great.

Tired? Happy? Full? Yes. It went really well. I was thrilled to have so many people over. It was fun seeing all the dental boys talk shop and the babes play together. Plus, the food was superb. Yummy!

A couple of the guys. In total there were 22 mouths to feed. Pretty cool. We love Thanksgiving. Hopefully next year we can spend it with family, though. This was a special group because all of us didn't have family close by, so we substituted as each other's for the day.
