Thanksgiving with family

It was so nice to spend our Thanksgiving with family! Jonathan is doing an internal medicine rotation and was scheduled to work from 7 am to 10 pm on Thanksgiving. Sami and I were going to visit him at the hospital and we were going to eat together in the cafeteria and then the next day I was going to cook a turkey dinner just for us. But when the chief resident learned we were coming to see Jonathan, he just gave him the afternoon off. What a treat!! So we all went to Jonathan's mom house for a delicious dinner. It was so fun to have all the Olsen cousins together! What a cute bunch.


I have been so thankful for so many things this year: the Gospel, our health, good friends, and especially for family. I am overwhelmed with gratitude when I think that this time last year, we didn't have any children, and now I am preparing for our second! So I am thankful for our little family, but also our extended families: our parents, brothers and sisters, and their kids. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Happy Birthday to Samantha, and Happy Mother's Day and Father's Day to Chrissy and Jonathan. We're so excited that Sammi will have a sister to play with (and I'm sure you can't wait for her to make her appearance either). We love you all and hope you have a wonderful holiday (I'm guessing that all Chrissy wants for Christmas is to get this pregnancy over with :-) ). Merry Christmas.
