Week of November 20
The kids were asked if they wanted to ring the Salvation Army bell a few times as we were getting our last minute Thanksgiving meal items!
They enjoyed it!
When momma mops, the kids play!
A peak at the table. I didn't get a picture of the actual table on Thanksgiving, so the practice one works!
We had 15 people at our house altogether on Thanksgiving!
Ryken welcomed everyone with this drawing.
It was such a wonderful time!!

We had mashed potatoes, squash casserole, a deluxe green bean casserole, green salad and dessert!!
Everything was just delicious!!

Drayden's first Thanksgiving!!
Boy are we thankful for this little bundle of joy!!!
They love it when we stop to see the fish!!
For those that know, in our bathroom upstairs in the frames are pictures of the kids in the tub! Well now that Drayden has been added to the bunch- we needed to update them!!
It was fun seeing all of their little bodies together!
We had our family Christmas pictures taken on Saturday.
I saved the best ones for you all to wait till you get your Christmas card! :)
But the kids had a blast running up and down the halls!
We went out for lunch afterwards and Drayden sat in a highchair for the first time at a restuarant!
Chris was in the local paper as well!! A friend saw him and sent a picture of it to us!
We are thankful to the Lord for all His generous provisions to us through this job!
Celebrating the ordinary moments that make life extraordinary!!
