We had one of my favorite Halloween's this year!!! We didn't get to host a party which is always one of my favs, but. . . First, I planted pumpkins last April before we went out for the summer and it was amazing, but I grew the biggest pumpkin vine with about 11 pumpkins; being gone all summer. I was very impressed. So we carved our glorious garden pumpkins and I have to say they were the best pumpkins I've ever done. We even put candles in them. The girls picked out the pictures from the internet and then Jon and I copied them onto our pumpkins. Pretty COOL :) Then on Halloween Jon and I walked the entirety of Morgan City with the girls going from our house to all the businesses and back. The girls had a blast getting everything from soda pop to t-shirts. By the time we got back home they didn't want to go out, Makenna especially wanted to answer the door for all the cute little trick-r-treaters. She was adorable.
Since, then Jon went to a training in Boca Raton, FL. I was so jealous he got to lye on the beach while I was up at 2 AM with screaming sick children ;( Sorry for the complaint. When he came home he had a sales call in Cedar so we went down to our cabin and enjoyed a wonderful peaceful electronic free couple of days. Much needed for me. Now we are just getting ready for Jon's Family to come into town for Thanksgiving, we will be having 16 people stay at my house for the weekend. I am actually looking forward to it all!!!
To end I just want to say Happy Thanksgiving; there is so much for me to be Thankful for, my family, our health and abundance, I am very grateful to live in a free country which allows me the right to worship, vote, and be a mother the way I choose. No matter how screwed up the govt. may be I still feel very blessed to live here!!! And most of all I am grateful for the knowledge I have of the Savior that he lived and died for me and for the restoration brought to pass by Joseph Smith which allows the true priesthood to be in my home blessing our family continuously. I love the temple and have found a fire ignite within me to go as often as is possible. I am grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and feel the blessings that come into my life by following Christs example.
LOVE TO YOU ALL, and Happy Holidays
