"To be a Christian is to admire Jesus so sincerely and so fervently that the whole life goes out to him in an aspiration to be like him."
-L. Tom Perry
James helped with the turkey this morning. He seasoned it and prepared it, and had it in the roaster oven by 7:21.
Jared got a call at 6:30 this morning. Tricia, Molly, and Emmy were on their way to the Wallen's for Thanksgiving and were in a rollover accident just outside of Deming. Everyone is okay but Tricia is stranded in Deming where there are no rental car places open. Jared and Anna have to leave to take her to Tucson where her dad picks her and the girls up.
The van is totaled
Tricia fell asleep at the wheel. Thankfully no other
vehicles were involved and the girls were safely buckled in.
Molly and Emmy were excited to ride in an ambulance.
I sent Anna off with her chocolate pie. I also made croissant sandwiches with ham and cheese for them to take on the road.
They ended up traveling 775 miles today by the time they got back to El Paso.
James and Brian watching a Hallmark Christmas movie while James plays the piano in the background.
Joseph playing the guitar while Kim works in the kitchen.
Joseph is actually an awesome guitar player!
Alex finally got someone to play Settlers with him.
James carving the turkey.
Kim whipping up the mashed potatoes.
They were yummy!
Brian was the punchmaker.
The boys are ready to eat.
We have much to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day.
I am most thankful for my family and for the gospel.
I am thankful that Tricia and the girls are safe.
I am so very happy and realize how truly blessed I am.
After dinner James and Brian did all the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. James said it took them two hours. Kim and I went in the bedroom and watched a couple of Christmas movies:
"What I did for Love"
and "Christmas in Palm Springs"
Kim, Alex, and Joe taught James how to play "Hearts", or as I call it "Be Nice to Your Neighbor."
Does James look confused?
