Thanksgiving





This year, we had Thanksgiving with my family at the church that I grew up at. There are a lot of fond memories there of wedding receptions of family members, my dad's funeral (he actually broke ground for the church when he was a bishop), and many other things. It was a lot of fun! For the boys especially. They were the youngest ones there but loved to play with everyone. Most of my family was able to come and that was so nice. Jeremy went with his cousins to the movie and I got all the boys Christmas shopping done! I looked through the ads and didn't see one thing that I needed to get up for at 4AM!! That is crazy!
Our family is so grateful for so much this year. We are grateful for our home, each other and great family who help support us, the list could go on forever! Jeremy and I went to a play at the local high school the other day and he told me that he had a really good feeling inside because he thought he wasn't going to be able to see it and then he did. He is really starting to be in tune with his feelings. He said to Alex a few weeks back as they were arguing about if it was raining or snowing and Jeremy said "It's rain-snow Alex. I think it's made in German!" Alex is doing so well with his speech. He says funny stuff to us all the time. Ben is working so hard for our family and he is on the phone a lot. He has been traveling back and forth to Salt Lake on the train a lot and has lost a watch I bought him last Christmas and his favorite hat but he still presses forward and we love him! I know that I have a long way to go in so many aspects of my life and improving who I am and what I do but I am so grateful for forgiveness and the love of our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ!

It seems with our 'every other' that we do we miss the Dinsdale Thanksgiving. One of these years we will make it to that side. Sound like you guys had a lot of fun!
