We had a fantastic Thanksgiving.
We tried to be more intentional in focusing on being thankful during the time leading up to Thanksgiving this year. To aide us in doing that, we made a thanksgiving tree.
I loved hearing from everyone (except Beckett) what they were thankful for each night at dinner. It's a tradition that Micah has continued!
We began Thanksgiving day with the Turkey Trot that benefits Mercy Project. The kids and I walked the one mile race with my mom.
We spent Thanksgiving Day celebrating with Chris's family, which consists of about 25 relatives. It's a big, fun group, but the kids were a bit overwhelmed. So, they spent a lot of time playing outside in the beautiful weather!
We did Thanksgiving with my family on Friday. It's a smaller get-together, so it was a little more laid back. The kids played, adults chatted, and Micah went on her first boat ride on my parents' pond.
We ended the weekend by putting up the tree. Micah loved doing it this year, and I loved watching her study each ornament and get so excited to find a special place on the tree for each one.
We had a marvelous Thanksgiving.
We have much for which to be thankful.
Joyfully you'll pull up buckets of water from the wells of salvation. And as you do it, you'll say, "Give thanks to God. Call out His name. Ask Him anything! Shout to the nations, tell them what he's done, spread the news of his great reputation!"
Isaiah 12:3-4 (The Message)
