Thanksgiving Point

We enjoyed a wonderful night with my aunt and cousins.  We went up to Thanksgiving Point where we saw some reindeer and enjoyed some cider and cookies.  We then took a wagon ride and saw the lights they have set up there with Christmas music playing.  It was really fun and the kids loved it.  We miss Rita and Ivana living close by, and are always happy to see them and spend time together.  

Thanksgiving

Well, as you can imagine this was a little bit harder of a day for my family.  Not only was it Thanksgiving, but it was also my mom's birthday.  We decided to go to the cemetery and wish my mom a Happy Birthday.  We brought her some flowers and balloons.  Each of us wrote a little card that we tied to balloons and then we sent them up to her while singing Happy Birthday.  We miss her so much, but we know she is still here with us and that we will be able to be together again.  We then enjoyed a wonderful meal with family and friends.  I was so happy to have so much family around.  I truly feel so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends, and even more so to have such an amazing husband who is such a strong support to me.  I can not even begin to express how thankful I am to have Chloe here with us.  I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for letting her stay here on earth with us.  She is just so happy all the time, and keeps me smiling and laughing each and every day.  

WE LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!

What was he thinking!!

So my handsome husband came home from work like this.  He walked in with a beanie on so I just saw the ugly cowboy style mustache, which I immediately told him to shave.  After having said that I asked what he did with his head.  Nephi said why do you think I did something to my head too.  I told him I know him to well.  So he took the beanie off to show off his new style.  Is it not the worst?  He kept it this way for a couple days too.  One of his teachers told him she couldn't concentrate on what she was teaching because she would look at him and just start laughing every time.  I do have to say Nephi keeps me laughing and I love his randomness!  I love you Babe!!

Projects

Here are a few projects I've done in the last little bit.

Sorry I thought I rotated this.  I made this blanket for Chloe to take to disneyland along with her costume I mentioned in an earlier post.  Nephi has nick named Chloe Tinker so that is the reason for the Tinkerbell stuff.

I stained this shelf and Nephi added the pole to hang the blanket.  The picture is a 4 generation picture for Chloe.  I have a similar picture when I was her age.  The blanket was made by my wonderful Tia Neith (Chloe's middle name).  She is so talented and I love her so much.

This is a toy chest we got for Chloe and I stained it.  I love it because when she is older I can put a pillow seat on top for seating as well as I can store shoes or something.
