So many things to be grateful for this season... obviously the big ones: family, a home, transportation, jobs, health etc... but right now I'm mostly grateful for the priesthood. Marley has been VERY sick this last week with a fever of up to 105* and vomiting all her food up. She didn't do anything but lay there and was basically starving because she couldn't keep anything down. We managed to keep pedialyte in her, which kept her from being totally dehydrated, but it was very scary. Thanksgiving night Ryan and our friend Ryan gave Marley a blessing... she wasn't immediately healed, but she started to get better and it seemed easier to know what to do with her. She is now just fine and back to being a firecracker. She has so much personality! We missed that for a week.
Thanksgiving was fabulous! Other than Marley being sick, things couldn't have gone better. We had it here at our house and the food was glorious and we had way too much of it, and it didn't seem chaotic (considering how big our family is... We had 17 adults and 19 kids running/crawling around.) which is a miracle. My dad brought his horse, Thunderjet, and we rode him around the park. Some neighbor kids came by for a ride even. Becky and Ryan were visiting -- it was so fun to have them here. Cash and Ollie are definitely buddies for life. And they were here for my birthday which made it even more fun. Ryan seriously spoiled me!!!
All I can say is that there are so many things to be grateful for, and I LOVE THIS SEASON!! :)

Mary you are so beautiful. I'm so glad Marley is feeling better. It's so stressful to have sick babies. Sophie is really sick right now! Can't wait to see you at the friends' party.
Happy birthday!! (late!) Glad you guys had such a great Thanksgiving. And that Marley is better. There's nothing sadder (and more exhausting) than when little one's are sick. It was so good to see you!
I'm glad Marley is getting better! Little ones are so fragile, but it's nice how resilient they are too! Looks like a fun Thanksgiving, you are adventurous!!!!! Love you!
