Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was very nice this year. It was my first Thanksgiving being the Hostess and cooking everything.(See Mom's post) We enjoyed good food and after we ate we enjoyed looking through all the ads for Black Friday.

Let it Snow...

Beautiful snow this morning. It was Joseph's first experience with snow. It snowed for awhile and then melted away. We are supposed to get more tonight and tomorrow. I love snow. This afternoon we put up our Christmas lights before it starts to snow again.

Mom, Mark and I are going to go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows tomorrow!!

SO EXCITED!!! I am glad that they made it into two movies because that means there will be more in them.

Monic's Baptism

Last Friday, Mom and I drove to Vancouver for Monic's Baptism. Friday night we had dinner with Aaron at Mars. Saturday morning I was able to go see Rudy, Glora and Loreen. We had nice hour or so to sit and chat. Then it was a busy afternoon running errands and getting food for the evening. At 7pm Monic was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Aaron baptized her. We had lots of family show up. Monic's parents and sister, my Dad, Grandma Lois, the Bret Claytons, Jen and Spencer, Aunt Cindy, Missy and Nathan, Uncle John and then friends from work and church. Afterwards we had a nice gathering at Aaron's house with food and cake and good friends. Sunday morning we went to 11:00 church where Dad confirmed Monic. Mom and I left after church to head home. It was a quick weekend but a very spiritual weekend.
