Thanksgiving

Not a clever title, I know, and unfortunately, I have no time for anything clever to say either. Like the rest of you, it seems that I have something on my calendar every night between now and, say, January 1st. 'Tis the season, hey? But it's all fun, festive stuff, and this is the only time of year that I don't mind being super busy. I think it's fitting, however, that the holiday season begins with a holiday devoted entirely to giving thanks. It's a chance for us to orient ourselves most importantly around the One to whom we give thanks and also to just take some time to focus on all that we do have before embarking on a holiday that has tragically morphed into primarily want's and gimmie's. This year's Thanksgiving was just great for us. We spent the day with Kurt's family at his parents' house and then drove to Sun River, Oregon to join my family (including my Aunt Sue and Uncle John!) for the rest of the weekend. We are so grateful to have a big family that loves us and supports us and spoils us and makes us laugh. And, of course, our cups runneth over for our dear Maddiecakes :) Here are a few of the highlights:
