So Much to Be Grateful For

 It's Thanksgiving time around the Evans house and we have so much to be grateful for: 

Makayla and Brynnli got to perform at the Copper Hills basketball half time as they participated in Azurette Mini's. 

What would we do without Brynn leaving us motivational quotes around the house? This one says, "If you quit now you will never be proud when you finish." Wise words from our 10 year old. 

So much to love in this picture. Makayla ornery... Brynn still fits in the cart... Caden just being happy Caden. 

We got a little bit of a surprise one Sunday when the stake president called me and Tyler in and extended a calling to Tyler as the 2nd counselor in the bishopric! What a humbling experience it was from the initial shock, to prayerfully fasting and praying for guidance, to Tyler being sustained. It has been an one of the greatest joys of my life to walk along side Tyler and watch his testimony of Jesus Christ grow. Tyler is a great example to all of us in the family and we know he will do well in this calling. Tyler was able to be set apart by his Grandpa Bill, who is 93. 

Had to take the opportunity to get a picture of all the William Evans in the family... because they don't get dressed up all that often. 

And what a sweet moment watching Caden help Grandma Bonnie. 

How many Swig drinks does this family need? The answer is 10.

Brynn's flexibility amazes me.  

Caption this...

Family Fun Night with churros. 

Caden has the greatest cheering squad at his basketball game. Go #35!

Don't quite know what Bella is doing here, but she sure is the cutest dog around. 

Makayla and her friends did an impromptu fall photo shoot. I love that Makayla surrounds herself with such great friends.  

Caden went to Tanner and Logan's birthday party. They had so much fun 

And thanks to Donald Trump's victory as the 47th President of the United States, we can be unburdened from what has been. 

Caden won the basketball game at Carson and Camden's birthday party. 

For Thanksgiving this year we had my family over for dinner. I didn't get any pictures of all of us at dinner, but here we are before everyone arrived. 

Tyler made our turkey in the rec tec and it was delicious! 

Makayla asked us if we knew that the snowflake on the cell phone was a direct line to Santa... yes, she thought is was actually called thee snowflake button. 

I love having a shopping buddy on Black Friday. Kneaders French toast is a must after a long morning of shopping. Hopefully Brynn will be able to join us in a few years! 

Family Fun Night with dinner at Olive Garden and then to see Moana 2 at the movie theatre. 

I love this cute family of mine so much!! Happy November
