We Are So Blessed


We had a great Thanksgiving with Paul's family - there were thirty of us this year, including both sets of grandparents. We hadn't seen Paul's grandparents in a long time, so that was especially nice for us. It was the first time they had met Chloe! We ate a delicious meal (I brought butternut squash casserole, which you've got to try - so easy and delicious! Ugh - I just noticed while creating the link that each serving has 13.5 g of fat!) and took some group photos outside. The kids had a great time playing with their cousins. We were also able to praise God as a group for how He has blessed us. It was wonderful to see the ways He has taught us and led us this past year. His lovingkindness is everlasting!

BTW, the pic of Noah is an Indian outfit that his preschool teacher made for him out of a pillowcase. The pic of the three babies is of Chloe (in the middle) and her two cousins Isabelle and Emilee.

The three girl cousins are so cute. Three brothers have three daughters of the same age and they also look alike! We loved seeing you all!

I'm sure it was a blast for all of you to be together. Times like that are always crazy and you don't realize how much fun you are having until it is over and you look back on the day. I'm glad you could all be there this year.

Jill, thanks for the awesome time, I wish you could have stayed longer. I think this was the most fun thanksgiving of all time.

We had such a great time with you all! I wish it had been longer too! We loved Noah's violin solo and his "God is good --all the time" was so neat! Love you and miss you!
