Thanksgiving


Ahhh. . . Thanksgiving. My favorite holiday. To me, Thanksgiving isn't really about the food (though "harvest foods" are my favorite) - it's a time of deep reflection and rejoicing. President Hinckley said, "Gratitude is the very essence of worship." Lately, I've been reflecting a lot about the things we have been blessed with, both "big" (family, health, Quentin's job, our home...) and "small" (Kasidee's soft, sweet breath; Makenna's sweet, shy smile; Kiera's big, bright eyes). I have never been happier than I am at this point in my life. Even if I didn't have another day, I could honestly say all of my dreams have come true!

Happy Halloween!




After wearing their costumes practically every day in October, the girls "officially" donned their costumes for a fun night of trick-or-treating. Actually, the costume fun isn't quite over - Makenna the Kangaroo insisted on walking to Kiera's school in her costume today. (P.S. You may notice that I have not posted a picture of Quentin in his "Dad In An Orange Shirt" costume.... After taking 67 pictures on Halloween night, we realized Quentin was the only photographer....)
