Thankful for so many things!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Since our families didn't plan anything for Thanksgiving day we decided to stay here in IN for the holiday. We invited some friends over for dinner. They also don't have family nearby, so it was a great opportunity to share our feast! It was great fun and wonderful food! We finished the day off with some movie watching and Wii playing! It was a really nice day!
We're so thankful for all of our dear friends, here and back home in IL and all of our family who we missed!

Our weekend was supposed to be spent in IL with family, but plans changed when our oldest kiddo came down ill. He has been fighting off a high fever all weekend, so we just hung out at home instead. It turned into a productive weekend, with dh and I working on some projects around the house.

I scored some good deals on Black Friday, amongst all of the crazies and managed to get a lot of our shopping done. We went and chose a Christmas tree and decorated it on Saturday. It looks lovely and is full of all of our favorite ornaments and so many memories. That's my favorite part of this time of year, looking back at the memories and talking about each ornament and where it came from. We have so many beautiful and meaningful things on our tree!

Today we're enjoying hanging out at home, smelling lasagna cooking and just spending time as a family. What a beautiful weekend we've had! Sending get well wishes to our little man and hoping that everyone else stays well!

I hope you all had a delightful holiday with loved ones and good food! We're so grateful for each of you!

May you have a blessed December!

We Honor You!



Sending out a prayer and thanks to all who serve our country, especially our dearest friends! Your families are so strong and we're so grateful for all that you do.

I know Veteran's Day isn't until Tuesday, but you all mean so much to us and we think of you throughout the year, not just on Veteran's Day!

THANK YOU!!
