Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving this year, and it was a full house. We were blessed to have both sides of our family here and we had a wonderful day. I am still loyal to my apple cider-brined turkey - wicked good.







In the photo we are holding up our Gratitude Garland, I found the idea over at Somewhat Simple. We are wrote down things we were grateful for and put it up on the mantle. Here's what people said...

I am grateful for:
  • the challenge and JOY of relationships
  • family, health and knowing God
  • creative thoughts
  • Family. Luckiest guy in the world for my family and extended family
  • My two wonderful children and my wife that I couldn't imagine life without
  • Sunsets - an amazing creation by God
  • Teachability through experience
  • My dog
  • God
  • Freedom and balance of life
  • Freedom of speech and religion
  • Joy, hope and love
  • for a very loving Lord, who guides and protects me. I am grateful for the support of family and friends and to live in a free country.
  • new opportunities to pursue in fulfilling God's purpose for my life
  • new job opportunity and this point in my life
