Happy Thanksgiving

The Drapers have had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break this year, filled with lots of eating and lots of family time.

As I've recently jumped back into family history mode, I watched this clip of one of my favorite Thanksgivings. I remember dozens - if not hundreds - of similar scenes from my childhood and hope seeing this brings a smile to your face just like it did to mine.

Be sure to catch the final 30 seconds of this clip - a Denny marching band for the ages. My personal favorite is seeing Becca lead the band with heartfelt gusto!

Kristen and Grayson Accident

We are so extremely grateful

to have Kristen and Grayson OK!

They were in an accident on Wed. Nov 14.

You can see from the car how lucky they were. They were hit by a SUV and pushed into a SUV by a woman that had a medical condition....she was traveling about 35-40 mph. Gray's car seat was even damaged too much to use.

We love you Kristen and Grayson and are sooooo glad you are ok!!

Draper Fall

We have had a fun, full Fall.  

We had Camrie's baptism the first of October.  It was a great day!

October also had lots of leaf raking in addition to carving pumpkins and trick or treating.

 (A butterfly, a nerd, and a vampire - we are very simple Halloween people.  :)

Happy Fall!
