A Thankful Heart

I am thankful for the world and the beauty therein

I am thankful for my Savior who rescues me from sin

I am thankful for my body that I can run

Jump

and play

I am thankful for the sunshine that lights and warms each day

I am thankful for my family, how they love unconditionally 

I am thankful for the temple, binding us eternally 

I am thankful for the animals that roam around the land

I am thankful for the oceans of blue 

and the many grains of sand

I am thankful for music that can be played, sung, and listened to

I am thankful for babies,

their laughs

smiles, and coos 

I am thankful for good friends to share moments with

I am thankful for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ; a glorious truth, a Divine gift

I am thankful for education, because knowledge is the key

I am thankful for a loving Father in Heaven, who has given THESE all to ME!

Toyland

To kick off the start of the holiday season, different companies showcased their toys in our main city square.  This is a yearly thing, and is a really fun family event to go to.  We all had fun seeing and "playing" with the toys being displayed

First off was megablocks and Legos

Then we had fun at the Disney photo booths, 

First off was Toy Story where buzz and the gang were ready to strike a pose

Then Tron

Then of course Edie had to join in

Her handsome prince to save the day?  Well actually, he's the one behind the camera!

Next was the Star Wars booth where Dean practiced 

off his mighty Lightsabering skills,

With young padwon following.

The force was in deed strong with these two!

A bit of friendly brotherly competition 

On your mark, get set, Go!

Connor is in the lead but Bryce is not far behind

Almost neck and neck as they round the finish,

And the winner is?

One of the final activities of the night was in the zhu zhu pet area

Oh what fun it was!

Around and around they go where they stop nobody knows
