Thankful for...

Thanksgiving 2015
We have so many things to be thankful for...




for my cousin, Zana, coming to visit!!


When Z comes there are presents...laughter...shopping...eating...movie watching...silliness...and all kinds of fun!!!

We are thankful for...


Tyler's birthday! 



Tyler and a couple of friends spent the day rock climbing.
He's past the days of themed birthday parties and favors...


but there is no age limit to brownies and ice cream!!


We are thankful for...


family coming for Thanksgiving!!!




Having lived in North Carolina for almost ten years, it is SO nice to have family close by.



My aunt and uncle and cousin game up from Georgia to join us for a wonderful Thanksgiving day celebration!


We are thankful for..


the blessing of home school!
The school year is in full swing now with math problems, science experiments, conjugated sentences...


and a couple of fun art projects to spice things up!!
The kids have been learning about Michelangelo and tried their hand at some "ceiling" paintings!





We are thankful for...


an amazing trip to the mountains!


Some friends of ours have a gorgeous cabin that they let us use for the weekend.
It was beautiful weather perfect for hiking...


playing...



spending time as a family...
  


enjoying the beautiful lake...



and picking up the PERFECT Christmas tree!!!


It took a LONG time to find the exact one!


We have had an artificial tree for the last several years...this was the first year we've actually gone to the mountains to pick ours out! 
  

We finally found the best one...had it trimmed and loaded up for the drive home!


 Wish I could say it fit perfectly in the house...but eight foot tall trees seem to grow as they leave the mountain top!




Thankfully, Jason and Jeremy were able to trim it down (leaving a massacre of pine needles everywhere) and fit it in the house!!



 Hearts are full with much to be thankful for!!

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is GOOD!!
Psalm 107:1
