Wonderful, Happy Thanksgiving!!

We had a Great Thanksgiving!! We went to Altamont, UT about 2 1/2 hrs away to my niece Ivy's home. Ivy, Spencer, Rick, Muriel and BJ worked their buns off to put on an unbelievable feast!!! Thank you so much! I think in the last 12 years I haven't done Thanksgiving at my house maybe 3 times that I can think of, so it was a great treat.

Gathering for the feast.

I think she's hungry :) Watch out!

Every man, woman and child for themselves!

New pictures of Kate

A few have asked if we hear from Kate's parents. They are so awesome to give Jessica pictures and updates on how she is doing on a regular basis. We love seeing her with her new little family and are so glad she is doing well.
