A Season of Thanks

This month, November, is what I call 'A Season of Thanks'. A time to be thankful and to look around and see the last of Fall until next year. A time to sit down around the T.V. to watch football, go to the Rock (a place in our neighborhood that has a gorgeous view!),  or take a nature hike through the woods. A time to gather around the table and celebrate Thanksgiving with family and eat delicious food.

We have many things to be thankful for such as a family, a house, clean water, nutritious food, good health, and our Saviour Jesus Christ. I think Thanksgiving is a foreshadow, so to speak, to Christmas. Christmas celebrates Jesus' birth and God's Plan to save the world. As we enter into this Christmas season, be reminded of what we are truly thankful for and who we celebrate, Jesus.


God Bless,

Thanksgiving with the Families

Like last year,  we went South, to celebrate Thanksgiving with both sides of the families.

We made memories and ate some wonderful food.

Day One:

When we arrived, my brother went straight to the rabbit my Grandma has as a pet. Her name is Jill. She had Jack........I think he ran away.

Anyway, while he bonded with her, my Dad, his Mom, my Mom, her Mom, and I played dominoes.  (Wow! Thats alot of moms.)

Day Two: No Pictures. Sorry!

Day Three: We took my Grandpa out to eat at......

his favorite place.

Apparently,  Lousiana is very cautious about Children 10 and under. This could have been taken the wrong way if it weren't for the food.

After that, we headed back to the house where Jason bonded with Beau, the dog.

We came back to  Grandma's and visted with some of our cousins.

Grandma and Jon took to the dance floor.

You can tell they were bored amused.

Day Four: We ate Lunch with my Grandma and then went to Mark and Cheryl's for dessert/supper/hang out time.

 The Turkey! Yum!

 

Mark and Cheryl's:

When it got dark we built a fire and roasted marshmellows. Yum!!

Noah roasting marshmellows

He got upset because they burned so.......

He then put them into the fire to well, um, burn some more.

My Dad enjoyed eating s'mores

and so did Jason and Hayley.

We made memories, ate some good food, and enjoyed visiting with family.

On our way back we stopped to take a break and saw a train.

It was a time to be thankful, even for  Satan the Squirrel who happens to be turned into stone from the Witch of Narnia dead. :)
