As we reflect on Thanksgiving, we are blessed to have been able to spend time with our families. Of course, we ate too much but this is a new week! Adriann made us a thankful bowl that we each listed things throughout the month of November for which we were thankful. Some included were family, friends made over the past few months, a home to live in, fun school days, eating out, freedom to worship the One True God, salvation and Jesus Christ. We truly are blessed!
As for the actual festivities, Jerry's family has a family reunion every Thanksgiving in Alabama. This year, there were over a hundred and most of his grandfather's family were in attendance. They are always great to take photos of each section of the extended family. It was great to reconnect with everyone!
On Friday, we skipped all the after Thanksgiving sales and spent the weekend with my (Kelly's) family. When the first grandchild was born, Mom began buying an ornament each year for each grandchild. Now 19 years later, she's keeping up the tradition but also gets the grands to put the tree up and decorate with the ornaments. Smart lady, huh! From left to right, Shelly, Forrest, Austin, Adriann and Breanne...
