Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was spent with my family in Vancouver. It was perfect timing to be together. My mom had some health issues come up on the Sunday before the holiday that scared us a bit, so it was nice to go be with her. 
My sister, Makenna came home from Rexburg and she rode with me the last leg of her journey. It was fun to be with my family. I did feel bad for Marit, she had a fever. And my mom was pretty under the weather, too. 
The morning of Thanksgiving, most of my family went on a walk at a park right on the Columbia River. It was cold and beautiful. Addie enjoyed throwing sticks and rocks into the water while Leah wanted to swim in the water. 
For dinner, we headed to my aunt's home and had a great dinner. It was so beautiful. I loved seeing my grandparents and cousins too. 
The next night I got to go out (Thanks Mike) with my cousin, Katie. Can I take a second to say how much I love that my cousin is one of my closest friends? She is so fun, and she laughs at my jokes! So, we went to see a movie with her mom, aunt and a family friend. Ok, we saw Breaking Dawn, Part 2. We laughed the whole time. Then when we got back to her house, we stayed up much to late laughing about kids, talking about the temple, eating ice cream and reminiscing of college dating... 
We had such a fun time in Vancouver. 

I have to tell you my thankful list:
