Our Thanksgiving

 I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

We spent this year with Mackenzie's family, due to my family living in two other completely different states. Its just easier to stay here. We had a good time but I definitely miss Thanksgiving with my family. I realized and told Mackenzie that since I moved to Oregon, over 5 years ago, I haven't been able to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. It's weird but its never really hit me until this year. We talked about trying to visit either my Dad or Mom next Thanksgiving.

We are however, going to spend Christmas with my Dad and the rest of my family in California which will be wonderful! I can't wait! 

Anyway, on to this year's Thanksgiving. We had a great time! 

We celebrated and feasted at Mackenzie's aunt's house. This was the place near "Happy Lane" that I posted about yesterday. Unfortunately, it was pouring down rain and we were unable to get a picture underneath the "Happy Lane" sign. 

Here's Sharon and I! And I can't believe I'm posting this picture below but it's the result of my husband just snapping the camera before we were ready. I cracked up when I saw the look on my face!

How does this happen? Sharon looks fine but I don't know what's going on with me! It gave us a great laugh!

Finally, here's a picture of the 4 brothers. I'll tell ya, it was like pulling teeth to try to get them to scoot closer together to take one, just one picture!! They look great though! 

Today, my husband is planning to hang our Christmas lights and I'm going to start decorating! We may even get a tree! 

Have a blessed day!

Give Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! 

I pray you have a wonderful time celebrating this day to be thankful! Whether it be with family or friends, lets try to remember what we are thankful for and give thanks to the Lord! 

This picture is from Thanksgiving, two years ago. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Mackenzie's aunts who  lives near "Happy Lane" we were (are!) so happy together and thought it was a perfect way to show it! We'll be spending Thanksgiving at the same place this year! (Maybe we'll take another picture?)

A few things I'm thankful for:

• My salvation and the grace and mercy the Lord Jesus shows me every day
  
• My loving husband, the love he shows me, and the way he makes me laugh every day
  
• My wonderful loving, family
• My amazing friends (both blogging and non-blogging!)
  

What is one thing you are thankful for today?

Have a blessed day!
