happy thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! so much to be thankful for this year. really. we had some stresses and some sad events happen this year, but we also had some wonderful things happen too. we feel blessed and so very thankful.

my parents came for a few days for thanksgiving. i think it was the first time they've ever been here in michigan for thanksgiving. so it was great to spend some time with them. our last meeting together was actually at my grandma's funeral so it was nice to spend happier moments with them here.

my dad always has a way of sneaking in a mini-sermon for us when he sees us. it can be long sometimes and i probably got annoyed with it when i was younger. but now, i really love it. he's so devoted and faithful and humble. and i just appreciate him and my mom and any kind of spiritual (and regular) advice they can give. love you guys!

we did nothing but eat for a couple days straight! hehe, we all need to go on a serious diet! :) anyway, here are some pics from our weekend.


the girls playing Legos while i was cooking. lego tower taller than addison! :)



it was a simple meal. turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, roasted sweet potatoes, sausage/mushroom stuffing and a cabbage salad.






oh and i experimented and made butter pecan bread pudding and pumpkin mochi cake (not shown) for desserts! both turned out pretty well!
