Thanksgiving

Our family has been so blessed this year and we thank our Heavenly Father for all those blessings that are in our lives. We have been blessed with good health, a beautiful home, a dependable job, and awesome family and friends. We are so blessed to have such wonderful parents, grandparents, and siblings. We are thankful for each of one of you and the way you have touched our lives.

















We had a great Thanksgiving weekend, jam-packed with lots of food, fun, and family time. On Thanksgiving Day, we ate a delicious feast at Mom and Dad Douglas' house. Marilyn cooked a great meal and all the food tasted perfect. Almost all the siblings made it to town and we had a great time there.

Bruce and Tara did a Pirate Treasure Hunt for all the kids and they has so much fun. Cooper still carries his bag of "treasures" around the house. Thanks for that activity...it was very thoughtful.
That night, we went to Paul and Stephs to watch the Aggie vs. Texas game. We got whipped but it was still fun to spend time with the family. We have made this a tradition over the past 3 years and I look forward to it every year.


On Friday, we went to Park City to shop at the outlets. This is also a Douglas' family tradition that we have been doing for the past 6 years. This is one of my most favorite trips of the year. I always hit Tommy Hilfiger, Fossil, Old Navy, and Gap. We also ate lunch at Famous Dave's BBQ and then headed over to Steve and Barry's for some more shopping. That night we went back to Jocie and Kyles for some prime rib and good laughs from "Hitch".

Saturday morning, Hunter(our nephew) was baptized. Cooper enjoyed watching him get baptized and is looking forward to when he turns 8 so he can be baptized also. After the baptism, we were lucky enough to eat some of Carrie's awesome cinnamon rolls that were filled with chocolate chips...yum,yum!

Later that day, Sara organized a Christmas craft for all the ladies. It was so much fun and they turned out so cute. Sara and mom, thanks for putting that all together. I had a great time spending time with everyone. The men went four wheeling and although it was freezing and Bryce lost his voice, he had so much fun. I am happy that he got a chance to go and do something that he enjoys because he works so hard all the time.



We had a great weekend and it was so much fun to be able to see everyone.

We had a great time too. I'm glad you're in our family. Thanks for being so fantastic, and for not forgetting your camera like I did. (I can be such an airhead lately!!!)
