Thanksgiving

How was your Thanksgiving??

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! We went to North Carolina on Wednesday and spent time with family which was great!

          We ate tons of food...
Pilgrim Cookies
different cheeses!
Yeast rolls
Turkey, sweet potato casserole, mash potatoes, fruits, veggies and lots of  dessert! 

          Played Games...
Axis and Allies

          Watched Football...

          And spent some quality time with family...
The boys played golf while the girls (and Bug) shopped and watched "girly" movies!
         Bug off course had a blast with his grandparents aunts and uncles! 

It was a fun Thanksgiving! We are so thankful for our family! God has truly been good to us!

Thankful

We have adopted a tradition that Mom R. started about 15 years ago in an effort to emphasize Thanksgiving for the family! The Thankful Tree is now something i have grown to look forward to during fall, and this year our sweet little Bug was part of the whole tradition. We went to look for a tree around the area last week, and found the perfect one! Then we set it up, cut out leaves and started listing all we are thankful for!
Salvation
Love
Family
Friends
Our Small Group
Jobs
Laughter
Date nights
Home
Our Son's "Firsts"
Time Together


What are you thankful for?
