family friends faith and food

 This was one of the most special and memorable Thanksgivings I've ever had. I love spending time cooking with family and growing to love and know everyone a little better. We especially loved getting to know Michaila a little better.

We loved this meal. Everything was delicious!


We had 6 different types of pie, homemade rolls, the best stuffing on the planet, pink turkey... yes it was pink... but we swear it was done and as far as I know, no one has died yet..., mashed potatoes, spinach salad and fruit salad. And those adorable homemade bibs (props to Tabi for her fast sewing skills on her brand new serger.) We had fun playing games, jamming and baking. Wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
The next day we had an exciting opportunity to make a temple trip together. The weather was beautiful and we did some sealings for family members that have gone before. One of the more spiritual experiences that I can remember in my life. I won't forget it.
Mostly because of the wonderful people who were there with us.
After a wonderful lunch and an unforgettable family reunion, we headed off to temple square to see the lights. Our kids LOVED it.






In the visitor's center. Where does she come up with these faces?


Sweet Jefferson loved the flash on the camera.




I think this place is so magical during this season.

Jeff has since picked up the guitar so that he can be like his Daddy. Daddy gets kind of involved in his music.

I got to take some family pics for my wonderful sil. See them here. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving too.

We love our pools. Especially with friends. Here we are trying to convince Nate he can do a front flip.

Glad we could share a little piece of our hearts today with the senior center. They all knew "You Are My Sunshine" which made my heart Happy.  #music   #thismanandhisguitar #wooshearts   #lovehim   #evieproject #evielaree  one of the residents told us to look up a video on YouTube about Amazing Grace.

To better suit my purposes, I have decided to make this more of a journal. That's what it is anyway, but I see no reason to allow random people to see it. I am going *private* Please leave your email if you are even a casual observer at the happenings in the Pettit household. You are welcome any time. The change will happen one month from today.
