"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

A Texas Thanksgiving!

We had an awesome Thanksgiving this year. As you will see from the pictures it was quite interesting also! WE had a "traditional Thanksgiving" we could either dress up as pilgrims or Indians. Chad and I chose to be Indians. Luckily a cold front came through the night before which brought the temperature down to 50 degrees which stopped Chad from wearing a loin cloth. We decided to wear headbands with feathers (I know, boring.) I also realized when I got home that we never took any pictures of our Indian costumes...oh well. We had a great time with family, some of them really went all out with dressing up. The food was great, the entertainment was defiantly great, the weather...not so great but at least it felt like fall!

I'm greatful that it was to cold for Chad to wear the loin cloth!

Your Thanksgiving looked like SO much fun! I wish you'd taken a picture of your "costumes".
