HappyThanksgiving

It was so fun this ear to be by family for Thanksgiving. We actually pitched in on the food and everything. Usually, when coming from afar, our families do all the cooking. Now, we can actually cook at our house, and drive over for the day. It is sooo nice. We have been officially named the pie makers for the Bodily side. The kids love pie-making, and so do I. We made 3 kinds--banana cream for Ty, Pumpkin for tradition, and apple pie for me and Ty's sister, Shay. The kids each made their own little ones and then shared them with their cousins after dinner. We ended up with kind of a small party though. Ty's brother, Redge moved to North Carolina a few months ago, so there's 4 cousins missing from them. Then, Chad and Annie (Ty's little bro) had their baby 3 weeks early, and missed it all. So just Shay's family and ours. Even Ty's grandma Lois went to a different daughters house, so we were limited, but it was fun. All the food was to die for; we stuffed ourselves, then crafted for 7 hours, then ate again. All in all a fun day. The crafts we made were so cute. They were these little tins that we put hand-wrapped chocolates in, and a cute floofy bow on top. They cost about $3. Perfect for visting teaching sisters, neighbors, Ty's assistants, etc. Ty's aunt made a bunchand sold them for $10 each. Lotsa time and love into each one.
