Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving with Tyson's family in Willard, Utah.  It was a fun day with family.  At the top of my Thanksgiving Gratitude list was:
1. The Priesthood
2. Primary Children's Medical Center
Both of these are what saved Elise's heart, lungs and intestines--- and possibly her life.  I can't express enough gratitude for having Elise in our life.  She is such a joy and I'm just so glad our little Elise was willing to come and be a part of mine and Tyson's family.

Elise with her aunt, Tori.  

Ever since Elise was 3 months old, she has LOVED to do an assisted sit-up to standing position like she is doing here.  She'll do it over and over and over again with me . . .  I think I might have created a monster by teaching her this. 

Elise's Doll

Our friends, Christi and Jim, gave Elise a doll.  Elise is showing her affection for her new doll . . .

. . . by eating it of course. :0)

Thanks Christi and Jim- Elise really does love the doll you gave her!

Halloween Costumes

Since Halloween is about dressing up as something you're NOT, Tyson and I decided to dress up as U-fans.  In spite of the fact that I'm seriously considering getting my PhD from the University of Utah, I'll always be proud to be a BYU cougar.
