Thanksgiving traditions...

I love a traditional Thanksgiving. We had dinner at Rick's family this year and it was a wonderful time filled with great food, company and celebration.

Emma is so adorable...

Nathan actually loved the cranberry sauce...

Harrison ate so much food...

Adam and Seth...

Elizabeth's crazy pose...

Janessa and Thomas...

Summer Olmstead joined our family for dinner, she is our new "adopted daughter" while she is living in Provo, away from her family. She just returned from her mission in Rome. Jane with her yummy pie...

Grandpa always does the dishes. He also doesn't like to waste food. I saw him licking a couple of the spoons and I went to grab my camera but missed it. So, he was happy to pose for this shot. He is so sweet to do this, many men could learn from his example...

Rick relaxing...

Actually, I wouldn't have let Rick do dishes, even if he had offered (which he didn't), because it was his 29th birthday! He had a fun day relaxing with his family. I am thankful for so many things in my life, but at the very top of my list is Rick.
