Today was wonderful. We went to our great aunt and uncle Mayfield’s for some feast at 10:30 am and man we ate so much. They had us over last year too and uncle Mayfield extended out an invitation to us for the next 10 yrs. to come. They’re such sweet folks.

Then we came back home, I took a nice long nap with Adalie and by the time we woke up and I got ready, it was time to go to my aunt and uncle’s house. I was going to make some pecan bars to take but the next door neighbor whom we teach their daughter in the Primary brought us a pumpkin pie so we took that to dinner instead. So there was absolutely no cooking for me today! Woo hoo!:D

We went to my aunt and uncle’s and ate a Korean style thanksgiving dinner which consists of kimchi and rice among the traditional foods. 😉 My favorite was the fried sweet potato. If you’ve never had a real sweet potato(and I’m not taking about yams), then you’re definitely missing out! While we were eating dinner, Adalie was intently watching Coco the dog and pointing at him and loving it until Coco came right below her and barked at her. I’ve never seen her or let alone a human being jump so much and Adalie proceeded to bawl. She had no idea some furry little animal that she was so intrigued in could make a noise, especially a loud ear ringing bark. Poor little Adi. ^ ^ Then we played a Korean board game called yutnori which Jay played for the first time ever in his life and he did so well he basically lead his team to victory.

On our way home we stopped at this house in Orem whose house has the coolest lights ever. It is by far the best Christmas lights-decorated house I’ve ever seen. The house is like a mile long with numerous trees and every single tree is lighted with a different color than the next so it just looks like a giant field of rainbows. Adalie couldn’t stop pointing and screaming at the excitement. We’re definitely going back.

And right now I’m sittin’ on the couch looking at ads online for black friday and blogging while Jay is lying right next to me snoring very loudly. He played turkey bowl this morning and man he is knocked out!

I am so grateful for my life. I think I have the best life ever. I am so thankful for a wonderful family I was raised in, for the knowledge that I have and for my little family Jay and I have created. But most of all, I’m forever grateful to my heavenly father who is constantly watching over me with the utmost tender, care and concern for my happiness. He is so sweet it melts my heart every time I think about his sweetness and goodness. Oh how I love him!
