We finally made the trip back up to Clemson, SC after being gone almost a year, to spend the holiday with our good friends the Nielsons, who were so kind to invite us to be part of their family. The food was delicious and it was so nice to have a traditional Thanksgiving again! Thank you Nielsons for the good food and good company!
After living in Clemson for two Thanksgivings and never actually being there for the holiday, we finally had the chance to attend a ward member's annual Pie Party, which is held the morning of Thanksgiving. Yes, that's right, we went and filled up on all kinds of yummy pie, and then had Thanksgiving dinner a few hours later, and then had pie again for dessert! What a feast! It was great to see old friends from our ward up there.
We were also lucky enough to catch some other friends who were in town. It was so much fun to see my friend Julie and her cute kids! Thank you Julie for letting us stop by! I can't wait to see you again! We also got to see Jake's friend from school, Hussein, who adores Christian. Unfortunately Christian didn't quite remember him from a year ago, but warmed up quickly when the football was brought out. :)
This is the only picture we took all weekend. We are so grateful for wonderful family and friends and the many blessings that we have been given. At this time we are especially thankful for Jake's good job, our little family here in Georgia, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is so much to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving!

How fun! I'm glad you guys enjoyed the holiday.
Oh, I can't believe you were here and at the pie party. Logan was a little sick last week and we didn't want to share his cooties... so we didn't go. :( I am glad you had a good time though. :)
It makes me feel really special to see my picture here! thank you! It is always good to see you guys.
