Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great! Since we were able to see Jarin's family the day before for the funeral and a dinner afterwards, we didn't have to go to two diff houses. That was a bit more relaxing. My grandma came up, that was fun to talk with her, Ali and I went down a bit early and Ali and her great grandma played a game of Chinese checkers with a twist, they had fun! All the food wasgreat, mom's rolls were perfect and the yams with marshmellows sweeter than normal, very yummy. The turkey was wonderful, and everything else was delicious! Then of course dessert!! My friend Erik made the two cheesecakes I brought and my sisterinlaw brought a pumpkin cheesecake, mom made Pumpkin, My brother made some great rich brownies, and oh yeah I also brought a banana cream pie, but it was gone so fast I bet my broher hid it for later!!!

The missionaries living in my parents basment joined us at the end and shared a message, the one is from the Philipines and this was his first Thanksgiving, the other it was his second day in the field. The kids are really missing my lil brother and they seem to think other missionaries should all know him! I guess there is logic to it but they won't know him, totally diff missions!

Gotta run to bed, Goodnight, I will post later about Alison's Bishop interview for her upcoming baptism this Saturday!
