Simon's First Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we packed up and headed west! Well to western PA anyway to the family cabin in the woods. It had been 5 years since we were all together at the cabin for Thanksgiving - the year Chris asked me to marry him the day after Turkey Day!


Anyway, there were 9 adults and 4 children all gathered for the festivities. We played games, rode 4-wheelers, played ping-pong, ate some amazing food, took naps, read books, ate some more food and then ate some dessert!





Our pastor spoke about gratitude this week and it was a great reminder of how much we have to be thankful for. It's easy to focus on the things we want or do not have but so often we have so much more than we really need if you think about it. I am so thankful for a healthy baby, a family that loves me, a job in tough economic times and most importantly eternal hope. What are you thankful for this year?
