giving thanks

This year, we are thankful for life, family, friends and for our daily bread.


Ellery learned this prayer at school this year. Our family has been blessed by two sweet prayers from the kids' preschool programs, and we are very thankful for this. Ellery has grown up so much in the last few months! I just love hearing her sweet voice and words.

Ready to eat a yummy lunch! Thanksgiving in our living room one more year! We moved the table back in here because we are about to finish the walls in our dining room. The fun thing is that our living room is full of fall colors, so it was a perfect place for our meal!
