    Thanksgiving TableThis year we stayed home for Thanksgiving and had dinner with Mary Beth’s family. We had such a wonderful time spending the day with family and laughing together. There was some amazing food, and even more amazing desserts!

    Mary Beth made a really neat centerpiece. She took a bare tree branch, cut out a bunch of multi-colored paper leaves, and we all wrote things we were thankful for and placed them on the tree. It was a very neat idea and I think everyone enjoyed it.

    Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to start looking forward to Christmas. Our family went to go pick out our Christmas tree yesterday, and I’m sure I’ll put up the Christmas lights very soon. It’s also time to break out all of the Christmas music once again. What a wonderful time of year!

    Our family had a wonderful weekend, and we are thankful for many things. God has blessed us with so much more than we could have ever imagined. I pray that we can teach Caleb to have a thankful heart as he grows up. God loves it when we have an attitude of gratitude! I hope your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

    Giving Thanks

    Thanksgiving Dinner Table We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My wife’s family and I all decided to head up to their cabin to celebrate and give thanks. There was tons of food, family, and fun.

    While we were there, we decided it would be fun to read through “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” again so we would have the story fresh in our minds before the movie comes out in a few weeks. It was great to just sit by the fire and listen to a wonderful story told by a wonderful author.

    We also did a little bit of eating while we were there. My mother-in-law and my wife made an amazing Thanksgiving feast that was enjoyed by all! I probably ate too much, but hopefully I can run enough this week to cancel it out. :)

    On Friday all of the girls went shopping and the guys went golfing. We had a great time golfing, but it was so cold that we had to quit a little bit earlier than planned.

    Overall it was a great weekend. Mary Beth and I even found time to go pick out our Christmas tree and put up our Christmas lights.

    I’m so thankful for all of the great things in my life: my wife, my future child, my family, my church, my friends…the list could go on and on. Thank you God for all that you do for me…
