A Month of Thanks

We are thankful for the Thanksgiving Holiday which gives us cause to really think about the things we are grateful for. Our families, our friends, our faith, and our blessings. Here are some moments we were thankful for this month:

Siblings to crawl into boxes with.

Getting to dress up as a Native American Indian (and it was always said exactly like that which made us smile, and made sense as there are many East Indian children in her preschool class) and go to a feast with "real Pilgrims."

Getting to wear "party paint"

Children whose predicaments provide us much entertainment and laughter, even if it isn't really funny to them.

School feasts and dressing up like a pilgrim

A creative little lady who put hours of work into preparing this feast for when our NZ friends arrived.

Having visitors to our native shores and sitting down with them for their first Thanksgiving.

Mashed Potatoes and Gravy.

(Mmmm I loves me some mashed potatoes and gravy--happiest person at the table.)

A visit from our awesome friends the Turners. Whose visit also reminded us that we are thankful for the opportunity and blessing that we have had to travel to many places and meet many great people and see many great things.
