A Great Thanksgiving!

We had such a great Thanksgiving and loved spending time with family! The day before Thanksgiving, we met Rob's brother's families in Ogden to do the Flowrider. They had a great time! I was bummed I didn't get to do it- but maybe next year.This year we spent Thanksgiving day with my dad's family (The Payne family) at my Grandma's house in Tremonton. Here are some pictures from the day.
Two beauties- my mom and sister Staci!
My sister Katelyn & grandma. Grandma has Alzheimers and it has been very hard watching her struggle with this disease. We are so thankful for each year she is with us! She was confused about what was going on and I think all of the family was a bit overwhelming at times, but overall I think she loved being around some familiar faces and just visiting with everyone.
Me & my littlest sister Hannah!
Rob & Hunts enjoying their favorite part of the day- the FOOD of course!
Rob snapped a picture of me as he was laughing. This is the only way I could manage to eat comfortably. My back was killing me sitting in this chair, the baby wouldn't stop kicking, and I just couldn't fit any delicious food in there- so the best position was practically laying down!
My brother Hunter's idea of pie- a plate full of whip cream!
Later, we got together with the Sandall family (my aunt, uncle, and cousins) for some fun! We enjoyed smoothies, hot chocolate, delicious Thanksgiving leftovers, and played an intense game of CHARADES!

This is my brother Hunter. What a goof!

During Thanksgiving dinner, we wrote down the things we are thankful for this year. I'm thankful for:

The gospel in my life and the testimony I have of the truthfulness of it. Forgiveness. The plan of salvation. My amazing family. My wonderful husband who makes me the happiest woman on earth. The amazing experience it is to be pregnant and awaiting our baby boy. That I'm going to soon be a mother and be able to experience the joys of motherhood. The healthy pregnancy I've had. My job. My home. The special feeling in the air during the holidays.
