Thanksgiving Day and the Day after

Thanksgiving day has come and gone but there is lots of food left over to eat. We had Turkey, Ham, stuffing, Potatoes, Turnips, Corn, Orange Jello Salad, gravy, rolls, and so much more. Eric was cooking all morning long.

The Family started arriving Wed night with Tim, Mary and little Lizzie.

Then Apryl and Matt arrived on Thursday Morning. They got here before Bruce had gotten back from picking up Chris and his family from the Airport.

Then Chris, Gina, Joshua and Layton arrived on Thursday morning. Bruce went to the airport and picked them up.

Then it just seemed like the flood gate of people just kept coming. But it was a great Thanksgiving Dinner and everyone loved the food.

The day after Thanksgiving the family all got together and we took group pictures. We also took individual family pictures.

Jake's Baptism

I can't believe that my oldest son Jake is already 8 and getting Baptized.

Jake was baptized on Nov 3rd, 2007 by his father Eric and then was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the same day by his father. It was a very beautiful day for such a special day.

He got to share his special day with his best friend Taylor Corbett whose birthday is actually the day before Jake's.

Those that were baptized that day were Heaven Meadow's, Jasmine House, Jake Bronley and Taylor Corbett

Those that came to share in the special day with Jake were our friends the Youngs. Tricia and her boys Shane and Trevor.

Getting Ready For Thanksgiving

Well here we are the year is almost over and it is Thanksgiving Time already. We are busy getting the house ready to have all of Eric's family here for Thanksgiving. It will be the first time that everyone has been together since 1997. Chris' family will be here from Colorado. Tim's family will be here from Utah. Apryl and Matt will be here from California. Eric's Grammy and Auntie Gail and her girls will also be here. Plus Bruce's friend Mike from Ventura will also be here. We have totaled it out and there will be 19 people here for Thanksgiving. We are planning on taking family pictures while everyone is here. When I get those I will post those so that everyone can see how much we all have grown. This is going to be my first Thanksgiving since my mom passed away at the beggining of the year. This holiday season is going to be different. I miss my mom but know that she is in a better place and is able to always be with me now.
