for posterities sake...

So the past few weeks have flown by I feel like it keeps flying faster...i feel kinda like the teacups at disneyland! We have had a lot of fun this last while, we celebrated thanksgiving this year at jon's parents and as usaual the food was wonderful, it was a super nice day to spend with our family and be reminded of all the many things we have to be grateful for like, an eternal family, food on the table, our 4 kids, parents who have taught us great lessons, (even if we didn't always like them at the time), This year i braved the crowds on black friday with my sister-in-law and minus a few grouchy people it was a super fun night that started at 7:45p.m. in line at toys r us and ended at 6:00a.m. at my moms house where my girls had spent the night. Thanks Heather for the hot chocolate a great night!!! Cant wait till next year! In my family we have a tradition where on the Nielsen side we celebrate Christmas the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and there is always a theme that my Grandma puts together all year long, and this year the theme was Sheep and The Shepard. It was so neat to listen to my Grandma's sweet testimony of the Savior. I am grateful for the chance to hear her bare her testimony. And now its december and the list of holidays and birthdays are going to keep us busy this month. stay tuned for updates!!!
