Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Also, some pictures from our trip to Williamsburg this last weekend. We had the best time. A big thank you to dear Grandma Vella and Grandpa Evans for providing the place for us to stay! Just the four Marshalls--reading by the fire, watching vintage Mickey Mouse cartoons, walking around the oldest established colony in America (Jamestown), marching in a fife and drummer march, mini-golfing, having a great gospel discussion with a long-time less active, very good man, and cooking and enjoying our own Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, and no Internet. That was a big plus. It reminded me of the whole point of everything else I do. My work, church calling, interests, and purpose all revolve around my family. They are everything and having this quality, calm, happy time strengthened my resolve to do and be better for them.

| Killer climbing tree. Find me and you get some of your own leftovers. |

| And she still beat us! Maybe Ben gives her powers. He must have given her powers for that hole-in-1. |

| T-giving dinner. Ariel made the rolls from scratch (even ground up the wheat for them!) and the pumpkin pie from our Halloween pumpkins. Awesome. |

What an amazing trip. Ariel, you are my hero for making the rolls and pumpkin pie from scratch even though you weren't in your own kitchen. Teach me how to be you someday, ok?
I can't wait to see you all come Christmas time!
Love Aunt Merzi
I love your family!
What an awesome trip! We miss you guys out there!
Dear Abraham,
We loved your song and counting. We love your big boy underwear. We are thankful for you.
Dear Benjamin,
We love your smile. You are gentle.
We miss all of you.
Love,
The Reesors
Ariel must have picked up the roll-making skills from Grandpa Evans who provided all the rolls that were scratch-made in our family. Good on ya', Ariel!! Next comes stolen.
