Thanksgiving

Happy (late) Thanksgiving everyone!!! I had so much fun this Thanksgiving! We went to my Uncle's and Aunt's new house in Houston, my Grandma was there too. Thursday morning we had pumpkin cake and chocolate chip pumpkin muffins! YUM, it was absolutely amazing. In my Aunt's and Uncle's neighborhood they have little lakes/ponds and ducks. The little girls really wanted to go see the ducks, so Mom, little girls, Aunt Tara and I went to the lake. It was very nice, I took a lot of pictures there. My Uncle is an AMAZING cook. He started cooking after breakfast. We came back home and saw everyone relaxing and decided to join in. The boys were watching some football game and I went to watch the cooking. The afternoon came and it was time to EAT!!!!!! The menu was....Turkey, mashed potato's, green bean casserole, stuffing, 2 kinds of macaroni and cheese, asparagus, gravy, and cranberry frozen stuff. Yes it was delicious and I was full!! So a few hours later, which I was still full, we went down stairs and ate pumpkin tort. *screams* I love this tort it's amazing. Yes our Thanksgiving feast was incredible. That night was very relaxing and nice for me. We visited and watched a movie that is called "An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving" Louisa May Alcott wrote it. It was a sweet story.
I would just like to say that Thanksgiving is wonderful all the family and food, but what Thanksgiving is really about is being thankful, to who? to God the one who gave us that family and food, the one who gave us a chance to see Him one day. We need to be thankful for everything we have, and give that thanks to God.
Here are some pictures of our Thanksgiving.
God Bless,

Hallie's Birthday Party

These pictures are of the cutest girls ever. The Yamane girls Hallie, Maggie, and Aubrie. This is Hallie's 4th birthday party. It was a while ago but I love these pictures and thought you would enjoy them! The Yamane family is now up in Washington, and I miss them tremendously, but I know God has something wonderful planned for that special family. Enjoy the pictures!

She is 9 yrs. old, and is the 6th child in the family. she loves horses, takes gymnastics, watercolor, and piano lessons. Hannah likes to keep everything organized, which is very nice!

My Brother is ENGAGED

My brother is engaged!!  It is so weird but very special.  He proposed to (of course) Lauren in a very romantic way and had quite a few people involved in the plan.  Kathryn Jaroski, Mom and I were taking pictures of them, we went down this little road and what do you know all the siblings were there. We handed Lauren flowers (tulips), Tim read a letter (about her eyes) and Luke said a prayer.  They got into a canoe and went to another spot where the Grandparents were.  They gave her flowers (sunflowers) read a letter, and said a prayer,  the next spot was the Mentors spot where Mr. Adcock, Mr. Anderson, and Little Bear Wheeler were there.  The did the same thing, (the flowers were carnations) They canoed a little farther and went to the friends spot...there were a lot of people there and can't name them all, but I know 2 of them were friends of Laurens from Maryland and Washington, Emily Lewis and Megan Watkins.  One of the last spots was the Parents spot.  They handed her flowers (Lillie's) and read a letter (about purity) and the Dad's prayed.  The last and final spot was the proposal spot.  Caleb had it all set up with lanterns in the trees, a heart carved into a tree, a letter with a rose from him to her and then of course the GORGEOUS ring.  (I'll try to get a picture of that up in future posts)

I have such a romantic brother!!  They are the cutest couple ever and I pray the God will bless them.  

Here are some pictures of before the canoe trip, the Parents spot and of the proposal spot!  Sorry if the pics are out of order, they're sort of backwards.   =(   God Bless,
