Thanksgiving... better late than never!

This thanksgiving was a little different from past ones. We decided to go to Ron's parents in Northeast Ohio. We haven't gone to their place for Thanksgiving since we've been married. They were thrilled that we were coming. The boys were so excited they begged to leave Tuesday after school, so we did. It made for a late evening, but we had a fun time with Grandpa and Grandma. Maddie came down with a bug while we were there (thankfully she waited until we returned home to share it with all 3 brothers). But I think even she had a fun time. Here are some pictures of our Thanksgiving Break.

Thank you God for books and Daddies to read them. Thank you God for smiles and adorable boys to make everyone smile

This year I have been reminded repeatedly how Blessed we are as a nation and people, but also just how Blessed we are as a family.

Thank you Jesus for my family. Thank you for our health (even the ability to fight off stomach bugs). Thank you for a husband and daddy who loves Jesus with his whole heart and desires to instill that relationship into his children. Thank you Jesus for parents and in-laws who not only love Jesus, but also love each other and are committed to both! Thank you Jesus for the abundance of food, clothing, shelter, and Blessings that you have given our family.

Happy Thanksgiving (a week late). Even though I am late in posting, my prayer is that throughout the coming year we will be thankful in all we do and in all Jesus Blesses us with!
