We are mid-way through a wonderful family weekend. I am especially thankful this year for my wonderful husband and of course my beautiful kids. Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving at my aunt & uncle's house with my parents, sister, cousins, Christy, and family friend Sonja, who is visiting from Germany. My personal favorite menu items were Christy's savory sweet potatoes and Aunt Mary's pumpkin trifle with caramel sauce. Mmmmm....
Next we headed to Todd & Laurel Farley's home for another bountiful feast. Laurel did a beautiful job hosting her first Thanksgiving! It was also Dirk's birthday so that meant all the more reason to celebrate.
Today we got our Christmas tree. We thought about going out and chopping one down but decided that Will would enjoy going to Lowes just as much, especially since it was raining this morning.
Sunday is the first of the advent season and we are excited to begin explaining to Will why we go through all this preparation for Christmas time. In this sad and sinful world, what an event to celebrate that we can have life and peace in Jesus!
