Thanksgiving Thankful's 2

Thomas and I had a wonderful thanksgiving together just the two of us. It was incredibly relaxing with only enough leftovers for about 4 days! Minus the turkey… we will be having that for weeks! It was a very nice 4 day weekend though.

Here is the second half of our November Thankful’s

I love how much we have to be thankful for and this was only for a month! Our lives are so richly blessed.

Now we are on to the Christmas season. Our tree is up, the house is decorated, and all we have to do is the outside lights! There are so many Christmas activities we are looking forward to including a tree lighting tonight, the Victorian Country Christmas Friday, as well as making Christmas goodies and looking at lights up at Warm Beach!

We have multiple advent calendars to count down including a magnetic nativity and chocolates, but my favorite is our activity advent. It is a combination of Christmas type activities and giving to others activities. Like thanksgiving I will give you a mid December and a post Christmas list!
Here is to 25 days until Christmas!!!

Thanksgiving time

Happy November!!!
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is a mere 2 ½ weeks away? So far Thomas and I don’t have any major plans other then cooking up a feast for just the two of us and any other stranglers who want a place to eat. Any takers? No seriously, we would love the company.

Over the past few weeks we have had quite a few dinners with friends. We are so grateful for all the great friends God has placed up here in WA for us.
