Thanksgiving has come and gone and what wonderful memories we have to look back on. Another Thanksgiving spent with our family and friends. Another year of silly, fun, memorable traditions with our kids. We started a "new tradition" this year....we go out to dinner as a family the night before. I don't know that you could really call it a tradition but it was nice to not have to make dinner when I was already in crazy cook mode. It was also nice to go out all together instead of just Greg taking the kids to get them out of my hair, while I appreciate that I sometimes feel like I miss out. Anyway....ramble, ramble, ramble! So then Greg read the cute little book "Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving" to the kids while I worked on my yams. Then off to bed. We woke up in the morning to a beautiful day! It was bright and sunny but cool and crisp definitely Thanksgiving weather. ( My first year in So. Cal. it was in the 90's on Thanksgiving and I just couldn't really enjoy the day...Ok, I cried...so needless to say whenever it is cool on Thanksgiving here I now rejoice!) So anyway....cook, cook, cook, clean, bathe, dress, do a bunch of little heads of hair and we were ready to go. Caleb and Lisa have very kindly made our family a part of theirs over the years and we love our cozy Thanksgivings out in the country for the Cary/Conner Thanksgiving. Over the years we have added to our little group so that it now includes Phil & Lou Saint-Vincent and Les & Mariann Williams. So along with our wonderful food we had great company. 
We spent the day inside, outside, upside down with a wonderful fire and kids running round. (Ok I know that's silly but it just fit!) 
We ended the day at prayer meeting and I'll confess sometimes it seems like all you can do to make it out the door to meeting on Thanksgiving night but ya know I can't think of a better place to be then on our knees giving thanks to the Lord on Thanksgiving day. So until next year that about wraps up our Thanksgiving. Hope you all had as wonderful a day as we did!
