Happy Thanksgiving!

We are celebrating thanksgiving a little differently this year.  The four of us came to the beach this morning for a long weekend.  Kip cooked a turkey last night, I made mac and cheese and we warmed up corn and green beans.  We put all of this in a picnic basket, walked down to the beach and had a picnic today.  We had fun and made a special memory for our kiddos.  They said several times that they were having a great time.

My heart is incredibly full today reflecting on all the many things that I have to give thanks for.  I am thankful for Kip, Callie Grace and Caleb.  I am thankful for a roof over our heads, cars that work, food in our refrigerator, friends that are truly family, our families and my job even though it can be trying at times.  I am thankful for our church and little people hugs and kisses that can wipe away the stresses of the day.

I am thankful for my precious Crosson who changed my life and gave me a new title, one that means more to me than any other title in the world, Mama.  Oh how I miss that sweet boy today and always.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Pilgrim girl and first fire of the season

Callie Grace celebrated Thanksgiving at school today.  I went by at her lunch time to bring pilgrim hat cookies.  She looked like a cutie!

Kip made our first fire of the season tonight!  Our babies loved getting warm by it!

Callie Grace had her first awards ceremony at school today.  She made all E's and had perfect attendance for the first nine weeks.  Great job, Callie Grace!  Keep up the good work.  We love you!
