This Thanksgiving we tried somethig a little different. We went to the trails by the airport and had a nice run/walk in the morning. It was cold and frosty, all the fallen leaves were frozen and looked like they were covered in sparkling diamonds. I asked everyone to bring some bit of nature back from their run to add to our "nature centerpiece". It was fun to put together and we all told a little story about what we had contributed and why we had picked it. Too bad Katie wasn't there to add a rock to the mix! It would be a fun tradition to continue. It was nice to get outdoors and exercise together as a family, especially since we knew we'd be eating so much that day!
The Huntsman Cancer Hospital is a beautiful place, especially with pretty flowers on the shelf. I think it's mostly for friends and family to appreciate. Apparently Josh was too heavily medicated to remember much about his 4 day hospital stay. 
Diane Corbin made this amazing quilt for Josh & Katie's wedding. During the quilting process, Diane learned that Josh was diagnosed with cancer, and it became a story quilt. Notice the birds in the corners and the lilies in the center. "For your Father, who is in heaven, knoweth that you have need of all these things." 
Diane and Brittney wanted to throw a graduation party for Katie, so they decorated her apartment and bought angel food cake and strawberries and whipped cream. There was a graduation balloon for Katie, a get well balloon for Josh and even a birthday balloon for Eric back at home. Happy 14th birthday Eric!
Sunday morning, Devin and 2 of his buddies joined us at Katie's for buttermilk pancakes and omelets. They spent Saturday being cowboys in DuCheyne Utah, wrangling cattle. Notice the nice sunburns they're sporting.
