Thanksgiving

For memory's sake, rewinding a bit to document Thanksgiving. We had a really great time staying with Grace and David.

Oceanside's claim to fame - this house was shot in Top Gun













This family has four sisters and one brother. You can only imagine the family dynamics...



We missed my Aunt Ivy in the shot but here's a better picture from an earlier visit in the fall



This cutie is destined to be the coolest little dude alive


 Second cousins!

Top three things I am thankful for this year:

1. Time at home. No matter how infuriating my kids are, I still remember how it felt when I was in the office wishing I could do my days with them.

2. 10th anniversary  

3. My family. In many respects, it has been a difficult year for my family. Yet I have seen them handle their challenges with humility, faith, and generosity. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to come from a family with such character.



Glad there was no stomach flu or stolen purses this year!
