Thanksgiving 2011

I worked day shift on Thanksgiving.  It started out W*I*L*D but THANKfully God heard my prayer and it got much better.  I enjoyed my time with my co-workers, actually.  One of the women that was there is due to have twins in two weeks.  It was exciting to see her as we both work per diem and rarely cross paths.

I came home to a full house.  Not only our resident disciples, but my mom, & my sister were here, as well as my Aunt Betty, and my cousin David from Ontario, Canada.  They came to help us celebrate our THANKfulness.  The kids were beside themselves for days waiting for their arrival.  They were full of THANKS to see them for the first time since July.

The kids are always THANKful when Uncle Dave gets out of his wheelchair and lets them wheel it around.  They were also THANKful to receive Christmas gifts.

David went back to my mom’s house for the night.  Aunt Betty slept over.  She bunked with the girls.  They were very THANKful for the sleepover.  She watched Miracle on 34th Street with us last night.

The fun started again this morning.  None of us are serious Black Friday shoppers.  But we did go out to Walmart and Kmart today.  Only a few of the kids were interested.  We got to visit and play together all day.  They were far more happy to have a second THANKSgiving dinner with our guests [minus my sister this time] and to play games and entertain our guests after dinner.]

  1. It looks like you had a wonderful thanksgiving with your family! And your house looks so festive! We managed to get some lights up outside, but other than that, we've got nothing. You've inspired me, time to do something about the lack of decorations…
