Eric turned 21 on the 20th...which was the day we traveled down to Vegas to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and her family and my parents. So, we had cake and ice cream on the 19th and celebrated Eric's last day of being 20 (there were only 20 candles on his cake) instead.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Andrew and Heather ran a 10K that Denise's ward has each Thanksgiving--Hannah hadn't brought her sneakers, so she just ran a short leg in her moccasins. Heather won a prize and that was even with her starting 15 minutes late!
We spent 5 days visiting, playing games, eating, seeing a the movie (Lincoln), shopping, and just really enjoying being together.
The main game we played was Andrew's new game, 7 Wonders. I loved it so much, we are going to get one. It is a bit complicated and I normally don't have the patience to learn complicated games, but I really liked it.
I had read a book, The List by Melanie Jacobson (thanks Hanna for lending it to us!), which was super cute and Hannah read it on our trip. In it, the main characters make the "ultimate grilled cheese sandwich." We had to try it. I loved it. It's grilled sour dough bread with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, red onion, and fresh basil. The red onion probably wasn't necessary, since it had the pepper jack cheese, but it was divine.
Now, we are down to just 9 days before Eric reports for his Family History mission... wow.
We give our life to Christ not for a smooth ride, but for a successful end. ~Pastor Doug Batchelor

fascinating post by Middle-aged Mormon Man
If you don't know the Middle-aged Mormon Man blog, you should visit it soon (click here to find it) . His is the only blog on my "Blogs of People I Don't Know" list that I faithfully follow and look at every post he writes. He does serious and funny and thoughtful and everything else in between.
Today he posted something a friend of his wrote about Romney and the election. I thought it was great, so have a look if you are interested:
