Thankful for...

Where did November go? In a blink, the turkey & all the trimmings were cooked, eaten & cleared away...Thanksgiving is behind us and we are full speed ahead with the transition to Christmas cheer...but I don't want to forget all of the many things we have to be thankful for (and I don't want to get too far behind on my blogging!!)...so here is a little photo story of some of our thankful moments, big & small, over the past week or so...

I'm SO thankful for...

 Sisters that are best friends!

 Fun times on the farm...

 

 This sweet face!

And this one!

 This wrinkled nose!

And this precious grin!

  Tools!

More tools! (Don't worry, parental supervision was close at hand!) 

 Wide open spaces

 A hand to hold

 Day-dreamin'

 Dirt!

 Digging rocks out of the dirt

 Sticks to build with

 Good people to look up to...

 Fairy Princess sisters...

 ...being silly...

 ...on a special fairy princess movie night!

 Children singing...

 ...and giving thanks!

 Sharing!

 Whipped cream on noses!

The BEST Daddy!

 A helping hand!

 Extra sweet & special teachers!

 Good character recognized at school!

 Funny shoes!

 Family bowling night!

Practicing the perfect technique...

 A crazy contraption that keeps spitting out bowling balls!

 Helping hands...

 Celebrating a good shot...

...and lots of high fives! 

 A lovey to love...

 

 Family to make us laugh

 A Thanksgiving feast...

 ...shared with loved ones...

 ...seated all together around a great big table.

 DESSERTS!!!

 A good nap!

 Freedom to play...

 ...and swing...

 ...and be silly...

 Arms to catch you

 A good harvest

 A ride with cousins...

 ...on a lovely afternoon.

 The perfect Christmas tree...this one...

 No this one...

 Finding entertainment anywhere you go...

 Attention to details

Agreement!

 Knuckle bumps (Drew prefers one finger to making a fist.)

This handsome guy!

This sweet girl!

  

Sweet lollipops (and an even sweeter girl!)

This happy guy!

 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
