Our Thanksgiving . 2011

 .

My, I don't know where to even begin......     We are blessed!....     God is good!....     I love our family!....    I love Mennonite cookin'!....     man, I need to exercise!

.
Our Thanksgiving Day was spent here at home. My Mr. spent most of the morning hunting, while Alex and I listened to Christmas music and prepared for our dinner party! We had both of our families over, missing a couple siblings and spouses.   We usually stick to the same menu each year, our family favorites!  Being hostess, I choose:  Croissant Rolls, Spinach Salad, Smoked Turkey + [of course] gravy, Pepperidge Farm® Corn balls, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potato Souffle, Cranberry Salad, and layered Hummingbird Cake.  [we had more food than we knew what to do with!] 

.

I hope you also had a wonderful Thanksgiving; filled with fellowship, gratitude, and loved ones!  Time and time again I am overwhelmed by God's goodness and love.  We are so blessed!

On 'Black Friday', a friend and I hit up Mercy House! I got this lot of books, baby clothes, and 2 tops for myself, all for $4.25!  Forget the crazy lines & Department store madness!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

Though Thanksgiving Day is officially past, may we all strive to live out a daily lifestyle of thankfulness!
