This holiday season I am thankful for Shelby!
I do not know what I did to deserve her but I am soooo blessed that she is mine.
She is such a helper around the house when I need her and she always says the right things to keep me calm. I am so proud of the choices she makes and for the woman that she is becoming. Most of all I am so thankful to have a friend that will be mine for the eternities! Love you my daughter!
























These pictures are from Matt and cane grinding. He has been doing quite a bit of this lately with his buddy, Ed Graham. They get sugar cane and feed it through a machine that is powered by wither an animal or a four wheeler going around and around. Michael is on the four wheeler in this picture. Anyway, as the four wheeler goes round and round the cane goes through the machine and sqeezes out the juice for cane syrup. Which is the final picture. Super cool- lots of work. For my Utah family this is just like making maple syrup only it tastes different.



Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great day and I am so thankful for my family near and far.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holdiay! Eat early, nap late, and shop the next day!

This year Caris came along with Shelby and I. We had a good time. She had never been out that early on Black Monday before- 3:00am to be exact. We hit alot of stores but did not find anything super wonderful EXCEPT- our twinner pjs for Christmas. Caris picked out the flannel material and we will look stunning in them! I bet you can't wait for the pictures!!!
