Can you sing.."I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas?"  So much for grandpa pouring a slab of concrete today, I think....

I guess the favorite part is the whipped cream...Tarrik started out just dipping one finger, but it ended up that all five went in.  Mylee got the beater...

The children...Thanksgiving Dinner

Chloe....our furry four-legged babysitter.  She has to be right in the middle of the girls for naps and bedtime...  Thanks, Chloe..

Our Boys!!!! CAM and TARRIK

The Team and the Coach....We'll play these guys over and over...you did a great job...The RATTLERS lost by one touch-down but Tarrik gave the quarterback a couple of things to think about after "sacking" him 4 or 5 times.  WAY TO GO TEAM!!!

Jade...in the pink and white at the second grade patriotic program.  Several rousing reditions of patriotic songs....A very nice program.  Jade loves to sing and play the piano...I've got to find those Christmas Carols for her to practice...

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is.  Don't worry.  I say that to myself every morning.  It will all work out.  If you do your best, it will all work out.  Put your trust in God and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us.  He will not forsake us...if we put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers.  "  President Gordon B. Hinckley

We flushed the fish last night.  He was a good fish!

Ella says, "Now Trinley, you have to be really careful not to let Grandma see you feeding Sami and Chloe the marshmellows...she thinks they shouldn't have much sugar...but when you get down from the high chair they will lick you to say thanks for the little treats."

Fun Family Home Evening about the Pilgrims and Turkeys and Being Thankful....
