In the Spirit of Thanksgiving

Today in our family prayer, Russ prayed that we would notice the love of our Heavenly Father by His creations. As I was on lds.org getting some help with my lesson for Sunday, I saw this youtube post In the Spirit of Thanksgiving. Loved it. Then, I saw these pictures at sunset. God truly does love us and I am grateful for all around us that testifies of His love.

Michigan at Halloween Time!

What a gift it is to visit any time but this trip was especially fantastic! I love Halloween and since all my kids are grown, I don't have all the fun of school parties, trick or treating, and just the excitement for the holiday that children have. I was able to go to the school parties, a ward party and a party at Ryan and Liz's house-awesome! We also went to a pumpkin patch-with cider and doughnuts! So very yummy. You have to taste the cider from Michigan. I have to say it is the best. And the doughnuts fresh out of the fryer with cinnamon sugar-to die for!
I watched soccer games-in the FREEZING cold-and I mean bone chilling cold! Kids are incredible in that they don't even seem to notice.
Oh, and if you haven't seen the Halloween show of Modern Family-it is a must see. I have watched it 3 times now-so hysterical! I never would have known if not for Ryan and Liz.
Thank you Ryan and Liz for having me. I love you very much!











We decorated cookies and then danced:)
