We had a great Thanksgiving in Twin..... until the day after. I don't even know what happened that day except for pain and puking and bouts of unconsciousness. I have heard that Jenny's whole family had it and that is worse, but it has taken me a week to finally feel like I will live.
The kids are all excited to return to Twin for a reunion/celebration on the day after Christmas. We are all so excited to have Michaela finally be an official Thueson. They will be sealed on the 27th. I wanted to post about Thanksgiving, and all that I am thankful for. Temples is a big one. Over the years I have slowly talked less and less about my feelings about spiritual things. It tends to make me very very emotional. But since none of you can see the blubbering, I would like to take a minute and be greatful. Simple things My husbands life, his job, my THREE children. (its really 13, but not all of them live with me) A home, heat, food, school, books, and I guess alot of it comes down to the miracles of God. I don't know why some people get the miracles they pray for and others do not. I don't know why we were given the miracle of Jason's life and health. But I am greatful for it and all things that have come from it.
Our little Kamden and Cami went to live with their grandparents the week of Thanksgiving. It has been a difficult time to reconcile the loss with the graditude and love we feel this holiday season. I am greatful for all of my children. We miss them dearly and pray for their welfare continually.
This week I spent sewing....(Christmas jammies, and hooded towels). I want to start baking. I LOVE all the Christmas traditional treats. I am having a hard time getting started though. I don't have enough time to make them all, and it cramps my style to know that. I will do the olympia creams for sure, and some fudge. I really would like to do the Christmas bread, but I just don't know. I need some visitors to come cook with me. I think I love the kitchen most when their are friends and family to work and laugh with.
Well, I have to get the french bread started for dinner and the olympia creams started so they will be ready to dip on Monday. Pat, they may be late, but I will get some to you. (I love you and miss you that much!!!) Everyone stay safe and well (or get well). I love you all. Happy holidays.

I love the picture. I wish I could be your baking buddy. I remember the year you came to Logan, it was great. I miss being close. We too are glad for all the miracles.
Yes, we too got the BUG! Brinton woke up Tues early puking, then next Connor, Ethan and Hannah. I spent the day cleaning and holding sick kids, running to the store to get sprite with one puking in the store! I got it in the middle of my shift Wed morning and had to leave early. Then the kids got the oh no, it was just supposed to be a stinker!! Hope your's wasn't as bad. I probably did a dozen loads of laundry this week.
Hey Meagon, I can not wait for the olympia creams. I am so very excited. I am glad that you got to see the house and I want you to know that our house is your house. We love you and your family very much and I am very thankfull for to have you as a sister. Now that I have buttered you up, I really, really would love some pinwheel cookies to go with my olympia creams. love ya.
Ok well I wish so badly that I could drive to your house and help you make Christmas bread....that is the ONLY thing that sounds good and it sounds so good I want to cry. We enjoyed seeing you over thanksgiving even if you got terribly sick. We felt horrible for you and are glad that you are feeling better. We look forward to seeing you in Twin for the sealing!!!
I LOVE YOU!
What's Christmas bread? How did I miss out that Pat is oversees??? Wish him well, and we are including him in our prayers.
