A Guymon Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Guymon clan. That morning we woke up and watched the Macy's Day Parade (my family tradition). This year, Nephi's birthday happened to fall on Thanksgiving but we celebrated the next day, BUT wanted to do a little celebrating by making him breakfast.

Yep, that was his breakfast. Nephi rather have this than a home-made breakfast any day. He's really too easy sometimes. We spent the rest of the morning laying around and I made some food for the party, including this snazzy trifle. Turned out pretty good and it was really easy. Check out the recipe. 

We headed over to family party later that afternoon. It's a tradition in their family to have dinner and a ping-pong tournament at Danny & Devrie's home. We had a great meal, played a bajillion rounds of this game (so fun--highly recommend playing it), spent a lot of time talking and laughing and then of course fit in some shopping. 

Last year I went out for black friday with Nephi's aunt and cousins but this year Angie, Caitlin and I went out and had a very successful trip.

We have so much to be grateful for. Nephi and I will often just sit back and realize how much we truly have. We've been married for a year and a half and have learned and grown so much together. We live in a beautiful home, go to a great ward, and have good jobs. We've been blessed financially with everything we need and have had the chance to serve and help others. We live close to a temple and both have a quality education. We both have wonderful families who bless our lives near, and far. And of course we have the Gospel that obviously is the reason for all the blessings listed above.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
