A review of our November

My three little turkeys!

I know, I am WAY LATE in this, but here it is anyway. We had a great November and such a fun whirlwind week of Thanksgiving. Brent was on-call this Thanksgiving, so we decided to host Thanksgiving at our house x2! 

We had such a BUSY Thanksgiving. Ezra and Emersyn's school both celebrated with a Thanksgiving Feast. I am thankful for their schools. I am thankful that they attend school's that not only teach about Jesus but who LOVE Jesus and help instill that in my children.



Ezra's "little" co-op homeschool feast. For a part school/part homeschool program, they are a pretty big group. A lot of sweet families and kids. We have been blessed by this school.



Emersyn's preschool has the sweetest Thanksgiving feast you have ever seen. They set up tables on the ground in one LONG table for all the classes to feast together. Some of the classes are Indians  some are pilgrims and some are turkeys. It is super cute. They all bless the food together.

Brent's family came over for the afternoon and dinner on Thursday. We had about 20 people. Everyone pitched in with a side dish and Brent's mom and dad brought the turkey and ham. All we did was open our house to everyone. I am so blessed with Brent and his family. They truly love God and each other. It is so easy having them over. It is always relaxed and everyone helps!!

A thankful house, full of family!

We had no breaks in between. On Friday, my sister, her family, and my brother and his family arrived. I love when we are all together. It seems like it doesn't happen that often, but when we are together, it's like we never left. It was such a good day and night of just hanging out with my siblings, their spouses and niece and nephews. We stayed up late playing games and talking.
The next morning, my mom, her husband and my grandma came for the rest of the weekend. We had our Thanksgiving meal Saturday afternoon. I am excited to all be together again in about a week for Christmas. How is that already here?!?
