We had such a great extended Thanksgiving!! We spent Wed-Sun down at my parents house. It was so nice to be away... in the country, in mom and dad's big ole house (instead of my itty bitty one), with the peeps I love most... the bros and sisters (that's all 8 of you who were there of our generation!), the lovely Henry, Baabs, Glenda Ruth, plus you Bren and Ro-bear... y'all are fun! I liked having 5 days in our commune, Holly... so others help with my kids, cook amazing meals,etc! Its partially completely selfish but is the gift of family. And we had a great combo of activities... eating, shopping, picture taking, being outside, tractor riding, hunting, church together, napping... :)
And so very much to be thankful for...
On the way home last night, I listened to You Alone Can Rescue over and over... the ultimate thing we are thankful for!
I'll add pics soon. :)
And I'm having a case of ADD since being back... so much I want to do!
:: a great walk with Blair this am
:: time outside in the yard b/c its great weather (I added another 3 bags to the pile!).
:: I'm excited about Christmas and looking forward to being in the Advent Season to think on Jesus and learn more with the kids this season!
:: I'm all giddy about decorating too!
I ordered new walking/running shoes last week... my first pair of Mizunos... they arrived today! YAY! I had to order an 8.5... crazy big but they feel great. I wonder if they'll motivate me to actually run??
Can't wait to see pictures!! Know it was a fun, fun time with everyone. XXOO
