I am truly thankful!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving!

Before we left for thanksgiving lunch!

we took pictures!
We had a good thanksgiving. We had a wonderful meal.
We were few in number which made my heart sad, I missed us all being together.
Some traveling and some spread out.
I missed the busyness the kids, the chaos.
I'm praying next Thanksgiving is Crazy again. Crazy in a good way.
Crowded... full... happy... with kids.
the way it's meant to be.
Our house is small but I would host in a heartbeat if it meant we could all be under one roof.
Greg and I were talking about Christmas/Thanksgiving when Mamaw and Papaw Narrell were alive. Us all in that small house, packed in like sardines... I wouldn't trade a minute of it... Us sneaking when Mamaw and Papaw weren't looking and opening the door for air!
They would drag card tables out and set them up in the middle bedroom and everywhere they could squeeze one in and they'd play Carrom and Rook and anything else. I miss those moments. I want my kids to know those moments!
I so could have been born in the Walton's day! The house full!
~ Good night John boy!~

Weekend in review!

I pray you had a restful weekend...

Friday Kacey had a ball game. They beat the Boaz pirates!

Then Kacey went midnight bowling with the youth from Union Grove,

and spend the night with the porches.

Then we collected shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child!

Our favorite time of the year!

And Operation Christmas Child is our favorite ministry project.

The girls love to shop knowing that it is the only thing these children will get for Christmas and they get to share in reaching a child for Christ half way around the world!

Saturday night we got to celebrate Lawson's 6th birthday with a Sports Center Party.

I can't believe he is six!

Sunday after church our family of four celebrated Thanksgiving together. We enjoyed just spending the day together. I cooked with some gnarrell help and they went back and forth helping Greg....

We all pick one dish to have so Mom isn't cooking all day but we hit all our favorites.

Greg - dressing

Grace - mashed potatoes and Gravy

Kacey - Sweet potatoes and Green been casserole

topped off with ham, rolls and brownies....

Love our family days.

Then we got to celebrate the thanksgiving season with our sister churches at the community service. A great way to end a wonderful weekend!

And yes I have my kitchen tree up. We usually have it decked out for Thanksgiving with pumpkins, leaves and scarecrows but we've not done very well with that this year. But it's up!

I pray you had an awesome weekend filled with the ones you love.
