Heart Full of Thanksgiving

I considered myself a frequent flyer far before I traveled half-way around the world. For the past 3 years (or maybe it's closer to 4) I have been going home for nearly every holiday. Well actually, in the span of 4 school years, I have only been home for Easter once...but that's besides the point. I go home every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

My Mom has always been willing to sacrifice her time to provide us children with the most decorated, mot delicious, most delightful holiday experiences. We've celebrated everything, from the traditional Christmas to St. Patrick's Day, which being as we aren't a drinking family or in elementary school anymore...well there really is no reason to be celebrating. And when I say celebrating, I mean, trimmings and all. Here are but a few examples:

Valentine's Day

Christmas Eve

St. Patrick's Day

Corned Beef and Cabbage (style-a-la-mom)? YES PLEASE!

Easter

So in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to express a heart full of thanks to my mom, who is the most talented and creative mom EVER, granted I may be expressing just a tad bit of bias, but seriously? Did you see the food? Did you see the decorations?!? No doubt, we've been spoiled.

Now, to the shoe part. As I said before, I've become a frequent flyer through my long and extensive travels from Utah to California, and considering I almost ALWAYS forget my ipod or crosswords, it literally ends up being the longest hour and a half flight EVER. This Thanksgiving I got to see my little nephew and decided it would only be right if I brought him some BYU footwear to sport. He pretty much loves his shoes, I can tell. Good thing too, need to start him out young. Whether he loves sports, BYU, or has good fashion sense...well, I'd be satisfied. If only the BYU Bookstore had a catalog...that I'm aware of...

My favorite nephew =)
