Thanksgiving 2007

We are counting our many blessings this year! One year ago at this time, we had just moved into our house. Most of the boxes had been unpacked, and we were trying to settle in. This year we were happy to have family and friends join us for a Thanksgiving festival.
We are truly blessed, and we thank God for His goodness to us as we reflect on the events of the past year.

We are so thankful for our sons! Micah and Becky arrived on Wednesday evening so we had a few extra hours with them before the rest of the guests came. We are thankful that they will be moving closer to us the end of December.
Jamie and Krista came on Thursday morning with her parents. We are all thankful for their first child that will be born in just a few months! Randy and Penny (Krista's parents) joined us this year for Thanksgiving, along with another family from our church. We are so thankful for new friends!
We thoroughly enjoyed hosting the Thanksgiving celebration in our home this year. Even though our two younger sons couldn't join us for Thanksgiving, we were happy that they were together and celebrated the day with other family members back in the Midwest. We are so thankful for family and friends, for plenty of food, for laughter, for good health, and for the beautiful sunny day we had!

Micah and Becky enjoyed being together, since they have been separated so much the past five months because of his schooling.

And of course, there was a little bit of comparison of bellies...

What a fun Thanksgiving! The table was beautiful and the company looks like fun! Things will sure change next year with a little one around the table, too!
