Giving Thanks

First we had Thanksgiving....

These are the tiny troops trying to find a seat in Frost and Marie's PACKED basement :)

Grandma's successful call to silence, a plug for us to read our family history books, and assigning of the opening prayer (Gale Davis, asked the blessing on the food and gave thanks)

Todd and I had slaved over these dinner rolls, and they were super tasty! We just quadrupled the recipe. If you want the recipe click here.

          Delicious desserts! And happy family!

And then we really had Thanksgiving...

POMEGRANATES

   for making pomegranate salad :)

Thanks family! Thanks Todd!

Proposition 8

There is so much at stake with Proposition 8! We must raise our voices and and let the courts know that judicial activism is on dangerous ground in over throwing the will of the people. A redefinition of marriage other than that between a man and a woman is not in our nations best interest. This would add to further confusion and heartache in our families and within our society. As prophets have forewarned calamities upon societies who fail to support the principles outlined in The Family: A Proclamation to the World, we must do our part as a people to support marriage as divine institution between a man and a woman. Voting to support propositions such as Proposition 8 in California is crucial! Vote Yes!

Back in the Saddle

And loving it! Look at my wonderful roommates! I'm loving being back in classes and in fresh mountain air!

Also, a Delicious Gift Idea

Chocolate World- HERSHEY

                               Indonesia is one of the regions

We took this photo of drying Cacao nuts in Bali
                                 

And here is the fruit itself! The out side (that is good to suck on) is slimy and sweet and sour, like a candy, and the bean inside is no good.
