Thanksgiving

What a wonderful day we had yesterday! We travelled a couple hours north to Uncle Jamie and Aunt Phyliss' home and spent the day with their family. The kids played in the first snow (!) of the season and we upheld the tradition of sitting around watching the Detroit Lions lose, this time to Green Bay. (Is Brett Favre on Social Security yet?? That dude is OLD!)

A bummer-Jason was sporting a nice 102 degree fever when we got home, and is sacked out on the couch with Ally, who is also feeling a little rough. They are watching a Ninja Warrior marathon, and drinking hot tea.

Our sugar maples are totally baren now, and the cold weather is upon us. There are homes laden with Christmas decorations and lights already, and I am itching to have some hot cocoa. The kids are practicing and preparing for their Christmas Showcase at co-op next month, and also a Sunday School program.

It's Black Friday, and I have come to the wonderful conclusion that whatever participation in this day I can muster can be done from the comfort of my own home via the internet! Who needs the hastle of going out when I can fill my cart with a click and no line!

In all of the hustle and bustle of December, I am trying not to forget about yesterday-Thanksgiving. We have so much to thank the Lord for, and I know there is so much more He will bless us with.
