November Collage

Another close to another month and 2012 is almost history.

November was a great month, busy with good things, but not so many good pictures. When I get busier I seem to forget the camera more often. Something to work on for next year.

Of course the highlight of the month was Thanksgiving and we were fortunate to spend it with family and friends.

A short description of the photos:  All the women gathered in my room for a Twilight marathon, in preparation for the new movie, we had a great activity with the youth—a photographic scavenger hunt of things we were grateful for, Brianne made this cute creation depicting our thanksgiving feast, Kelsey got a new t-shirt, Tyler was held hostage...till he would conform to be on the right side of the rivalry game, Grace and I, and one week of November was spent with sickness.

That about wraps it up!

Morning Sun

I love it when the sun filters through the cactus—it makes them glow…and they almost look warm and cuddly, friendly even.

My Corner

I continue to be grateful that I have a fun little corner of the world all to myself! I am grateful to God for the talents that He has given me, and the opportunities to share them. I am grateful for my sweet husband who supports me in all my endeavors-emotionally…and financially.

Glasses and Grace

I am grateful for my “cheater” glasses. I am grateful that I have had perfect vision my whole life and now that I am getting older there are glasses that help me read.

But really this picture shows something even more important, Grace and the smile that she puts on my face!

ASU vs. UofA

The Snells came over for the big rivalry game on Friday night. It was fun to spend the time together and eat leftover turkey dinner. We had both sides represented…a large contingent for the UofA—everyone except Maryn and her minion Grace, who rooted for ASU. Of course Grace was wiser than the rest of us in joining Maryn, since they were on the winning side!

Fear the Fork!

Earlier in the day Maryn tried to influence Tyler and get him to join the dark side, but he remained strong, despite her torturous ways…

…this is just a re-enactment…no one was hurt in the taking of this picture…

Thanksgiving Marathon

It grew from this….

What was so interesting? The Twilight movies. A marathon to catch up on the old ones so that they could go and watch the newest…and last…release of the Edward and Bella saga.

Yummy Food

So looking forward to our Thanksgiving feast tomorrow. We will have all of our favorites and even better we will eat with our favorite people--Our family and friends.

Made by Brianne

Sorena and her family are here and we are so excited to spend time with them. I am so thankful that my sisters share their kids with me. I love them so much and love the relationships we have developed. They are precious and priceless to me.

Maryn made “Ironman” hands for the boys. They are huge fans so they were more than excited. I think they became bigger fans of Maryn, too.
