Thanksgiving

I finally have a moment with both hands free so that I can type. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Jared's parents were able to stay with us for a full week and we loved being able to spend so much time with them. We had a little thanksgiving dinner at our house and then that evening joined some of Jared's relatives in Manti for another wonderful feast.

Grandma Jones and the kids

Mackayla was playing on our bed when I heard her calling out that she needed help. I found her trying so hard to put her Daddy's jeans on.

Jared and his dad went to the BYU/Utah game and had a blast.

Ashley and family gave Mackayla these pajamas for christmas and she has been living in them ever since. We finally convinced her that what she was laying on was not a blanket but a table cloth.
ANNOUNCMENT: For the first time ever (as I was posting this) Mackayla put herself to sleep for a nap!!! She said she was sleepy so I gave her some milk and she went in to bed and actually fell asleep!!!!! Lets all pray she'll do this again!

Bradley's Blessing Day

We had a wonderful day today. We had Bradley's blessing here at the house due to the fact that today was ward conference at church. It ended up working out better to just do it right after church because Bradley had both sets of grandparents here as well as his Jones great-grandparents, and all our other relatives in the area. His Grandma Jones brought him this darling little white blessing outfit. He looked like such a handsome little guy!!!

Mackayla spent most of the post blessing party asleep on her Grandma's lap.

I had a great birthday. Jared and Mackayla made this wonderful cake for me! We've got pleanty left if anyone wants some.

Mackayla loved handing me all my gifts. Of course she unwrapped them first then gave them to me.Jared gave me this VERY soft robe!
Jared was home in the morning doing homework so he watched Bradley and Mackayla and I got to go outside and play in the leaves. We both enjoyed actually getting out of the house for an hour.
