One of the things that reminds me of my childhood is watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on TV. Someday I'm going to go there! Anyway, I was able to watch it this year with the girls and Caleb while Shawn was at a gig. Adrianna showed the most interest in it and even then I had to keep pointing out how cool it was! I think they did really like the big balloons, especially Buzz Lightyear, Dora, Abby Cadabby, and Sponge Bob. After Shawn got home we headed to my parents house in Zeeland for our feast. It was a great day of relaxing, watching football, playing games, making turkey rice krispies, and talking together. We were even able to write on some cards things we are thankful for and things we are thankful for about the other people in our family. It will be encouraging to read those when I'm feeling down!Aren't those place cards cute!;)
Caleb was NOT impressed with the bird! All 22 pounds of him.
Oh wait, they both weigh the same!!!
2 Cute little Turkey's!;)
On the Saturday after Thanksgiving Day, we head up to Shawn's parents house in Pierson. I think on of the most favorite parts on the day was watching Caleb dance with this silly singing turkey!Oh yeah, and get out ALL the newspapers from the shelf!
My other most favorite part of the day was making smores! Who would have thought that we could have done that in November! Winter coats and all!
Eliza apparently likes marshmallows! She would have eaten the whole bag if I wouldn't have found her!
Sweet girl so willing to help and be the "big sister"!
It has been an AMAZING Thanksgiving season of growth, reflection, and blessings.
I am just thankful for this journey that I am on with my Jesus and that He loves me enough to teach me something every day of my life! Sometimes it is painful, sometimes it is joyful but it is great! I just have to sit back, look at the life God has given me, and feel completely overwhelmed and blessed. There are just too many things to name! Wow..Our God is awesome!
