Giving Thanks



This was a special Thanksgiving for us--our last one in the states for a while! So we enjoyed traditions and time with family, remembering just how precious it is to be near ones we love. On Thanksgiving day, twenty-one of my (Gracy's) family and extended family members gathered for the afternoon to celebrate the blessings of the year and the blessing of each other. We had fun eating, playing "name that tune" and reminiscing about the good ole days. Caleb had quite a day full of activities as well: riding the tractor, helping pick up pecans in the yard, helping Pop fix the screen door before guests arrived, and running around enjoying the sound of leaves crunching beneath his feet. It was a day full of good times and good memories, for which we are so grateful.
