Thanksgiving and Ashley's Devotional

We had a nice Thanksgiving. We felt fortunate to have my parents visiting for most of the week. They made a last minute decision to come to Utah for Thanksgiving so they could visit with a friend of theirs who has not been given much time to live. While they were in town, we took them to a BYU Basketball game with us. Apparently they are good luck because I won a $25 gift card for showing my Wells Fargo App on my phone and then my parents were given a Papa Johns Pizza from Cosmo for being the loudest fans(we're pretty sure it was the guys sitting behind them that helped win that one so they shared some of the pizza with them). Camden also made it on the baby cam. Our seats are right behind the basket on the front row, so that may be part of the reason for our good luck. Here are most of our kids enjoying the game with my parents. You can't see Alyssa, but she is right behind Tyler. 

We had Thanksgiving dinner at Danny's parents house and it was delicious.

The week before Thanksgiving was Ashley's school Devotional. She was chosen out of all the second graders to play the xylophone during one of the songs. She was so excited to be chosen and did a wonderful job of it. This is my first time trying this, but here is the you tube link: https://youtu.be/J8vChT0MYkE

I love the music in the 2nd grade devotional at their school. The last song they sing is called "A Chosen Generation." I truly feel like my kids are so much stronger than I when it comes to resisting temptation and doing what is right. They are chosen to grow up in a time when there are terrorist attacks and shootings and when the sanctity of marriage is being attacked. I pray that they will continue to make good choices and live up to the responsibilities that they have been entrusted with by being born in this time.
