I just wanted to post a little update on our Thanksgiving this year! What a GREAT time we had.. All of my family, except my brother and his fam (we sure did miss you guys) came to our house this year! It was my first time hosting and let me tell you there is a lot of stress that comes along w/it but all so worth it! I had a blast doing it and loved every minute of it... There was fantastic company, game playing, pie eating, table decorating & much much more great things that happened on this 4 day weekend! I was so excited to decorate my table since we had exactly 8 adults and that's what my table holds...so we also did a kid's table as well and that was fun too! I'm very proud of my creativity and just had to show it off!!! So here it is!
We also had our Christmas together since it is our off year so we exchanged gifts on Friday and that was full of excitement since it was the McCracken's kids' first Christmas EVER!!! What a great moment to experience the kids were so happy and grateful...I just love those little guys! Brooky and Spencer had a blast as well along with their cousins! Even mom and dad got a little excited...
Then off to SLC for some temple square lights and dinner at PF Changs...Oh so devine I love it there but never get there since we don't have one in Logan so that was a nice meal! We happened to be at the square just as everything turned on..I have never experienced that part so that made it so much more special then it already was! We even got free hot chocolate at Deseret Book--what a great night! I guess the only ending to a perfect night had to of been losing half our family!!! It was definitely a trial trying to find everyone w/so many people but we found them and all safe! But of course it couldn't of been perfect, right!!?? So I forgot my camera and didn't get any pics but might post some later when I get a couple from my sis!
As we look forward to this month I just want everyone to know how thankful I am for this time of year! I love it b/c I remember to take the time and acknowledge all the things I'm grateful for and try not to take them for granted. Just to name a few:
My family, heavenly father, neighbors, friends, beautiful home, the gospel, gatherings, church calling, alone time w/my husband, family outings, going to the temple, good weather, our business, wonderful employee's, blogging, decorating my home, my children when there hugging and laughing together, pictures, love, peace, happiness, giving, helping others and so many more but that is to name a few!
Thank you to all of you who are so special in our lives and I hope during this great time of year you can all remember the things that are so special to you in your lives and not take them for granted! Especially while we're celebrating our Savior's birth!! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and that you all have a wonderful Christmas Season as well!

Well your loss was our gain this year. It was fun to have Mike and Leticia over for dinner at my parents'. Dan and Mike enjoyed watching a bit of football together.
You are so cute. That looked like one fun weekend. Everything looked amazing. Way to go!
Sounds like your Thanksgiving went well. I love looking at your blog, your pictures are great. I can not get over how much Spencer looks like Mark when he was little. I miss snowmobiles! Have a great time getting ready for Christmas. Love Tina
