Thanksgiving 2012

[October]

Mike and Mandy came to visit with their 5 kids! We loved having them at our home. We gathered at Brandon and Steph's for Thanksgiving Dinner. We also got to go through the Calgary Temple Open House together! 

And look who decided to take 10 steps!!! This is Aubrey walking to mommy!!!

 I love how excited daddy is! Aubrey has taken a few steps before, but Thanksgiving day she took the most consecutively. She hasn't stopped since then!!!

The Calgary Temple

We are so Thankful for a temple 20 minutes from our home. We have loved attending it regularly. I am thankful that our family can be together forever - and that we are striving for that. I'm thankful for a husband to cherishes me, helps me, loves me, leads, guides, protects and provides for our family. I am grateful that I married him and continue to realize ways in which he is perfect for me. I am thankful for our beautiful, healthy girls. They are the light of my life. They keep me on my toes, teach me patience, and brighten my days. I'm thankful for a healthy body that will perform that tasks that I need it to. I'm thankful for a beautiful, warm home to live in. I'm thankful for our Country. Despite the cold weather, I love living in Canada. I'm thankful for the knowledge and testimony I have of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It brings me and my family peace, happiness, and security.

The list goes on and on...

I am grateful and know that everything we have in our lives comes from the hand of God. He is the giver of every good gift.
