In November, the girls had Thanksgiving feasts at school. It was fun to attend both of them. For Hadley, this was her first program at Second Friends. She wore an Indian costume and did a great job singing a few songs with her class. We also participated in this program when Connor and Kylee were in preschool. It was a bit surreal to see our youngest up there taking part in the ritual. Wow. Time sure does fly by. After the group sings, we are treated to a "feast", complete with table decorations specially created by little hands. :)
Hadley's table decor. You'll see she noted so was thankful for "hot dogs and mac and cheese" on her Thanksgiving pumpkin decoration. |
It has become our custom to spend Thanksgiving Day in Baldwin City with the McKinney family. We eat way too much and enjoy a relaxing day together. Friday isn't a holiday for DST, so it's nice to be able to stay in close proximity to home. This year, the weekend after the holiday, we headed to Lindsborg to spend some time with Great Grandpa Carlson and Grandma and Grandpa Carlson, who drove in from Colorado. We played games, ate good food, and enjoyed some nice family time.
We went with Grandpa to feed the cows out at Uncle Dan and Aunt Jane's house. Brrrr! It was cold. |
I LOVE this picture of Great Grandpa and Kylee |

We are thankful for so many things....for health, for family, and for grace. It is humbling to reflect on how God blesses us each and every day!
