The Kids at Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving with our friends Jeff and Val. We had a wonderful time! They have two girls. Quinn is the oldest and Ella is Caleb's age. They all had fun playing together. Caleb had fun driving the girls nuts. It must be a built in gene for boys to automatically know that they are supposed to give the girls a hard time. LOL!

Pictures From Thanksgiving

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving. We had such a WONDERFUL time at our Assistant Pastor's house with his family. They have a tradition that not all men would want me to share with other ladies. That is the women cook and the men do dishes! How FABULOUS is that? So I have a great picture of Pastor and Joe (his son as if you wouldn't have been able to figure that out, they look a lot alike!) Doing dishes. After dinner and the dishes the men settled down for some football on TV and us ladies went and played some Skip-Bo. We later had the men to come in and play Catch Phrase with us. Needless to say we had a nice time.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

What a wonderful day I have had sharing it with my husband, kids and sweet friends from church! I have so so much to be thankful for in my life. I started reflecting on Wednesday while making pies for dessert today. I praise the Lord for so much, I have been thinking about my parents so much the last couple of days. This year since we moved we were not able to share Thanksgiving with Dad and Mom H. I can not think of the last time I shared it with my Momma P.(Due to the jobs and location) Each of my parents bring something different to my life, but it is because their guidance as a child or now as adult that I am where I am at today. Thank you for that!

I am thankful for my husband, he loves me unconditionally, he is a strong leader and loves the Lord. We are partners for life working together as one through anything that comes our way. I know not every woman can say that. I am BLESSED!

I am so thankful for my children. The Lord knows that I love my children. I am so thankful to have each of them. That was my dream as a child was not to be a doctor, nurse, or secretary but to be a Mom. Being a Mom is not always a easy job but it is a job that has the highest pay. It is not money it is blessings.

Most of all I am thankful for Jesus Christ who died for me. I am thankful that he took and paid for my sin so I do not have to suffer in Hell when I die. For that matter I have the Lord to lean on at any moment in time. Just like my parents who would be here in a millisecond if I ever needed them Christ can be here even faster! That is just unreal to me at times.
