Other highlights

A family in our ward invited us to share family home evening with them on Tuesday. We talked about gratitude, enjoyed a fun gratitude scavenger hunt, and then played Turkey Hide and Seek before we shared cookies and Dad's limeade. 

Dad, Kayty and I had a good Thanksgiving. Dad smoked a turkey, I roasted one, Kayty peeled ten potatoes that were riced into cream and butter, I made my Nano's stuffing, and we had homemade cranberry sauce and cranberry salad. I made dad a little mesquite bread and Kayty ate soft hawaiian rolls.
