What a blessed Thanksgiving we had today! There were so many reasons to be thankful and grateful to the One who provides all! We started the day with brunch - outside because it was the perfect day - 78 and sunny! Our friends the Sanchez' and the Hoads joined us - 9 adults and 7 kids and 2 dogs! What a way to kick off our day!
After brunch, we moved into the dinner preparations for an entirely different group of people! Our neighbors Art & Linda joined us - and Art earned the official "Carver" title!
Brunch outside was such a hit that we decided to enjoy the sunshine & eat dinner out there as well! Our Lucky mommy friends the Bauer's were there (Karen, Bob & Kailee), Kris, LaShone and grandma of course!
After dinner, we then moved onto the dessert preparations. Becky was introduced to a timeless US tradition - licking the beaters!
One for each - such good sharing (very different from earlier in the day when the mere mention of Becky having to share reduced her to a puddle of tears!)
No sense moving inside now...just put the lights on & a log in the chiminea!
It would be so easy to look around today and be thankful for our families, our friends, our prosperity, our good health and all those things that make our lives better and make it "about us". It is not - it is about HIm - the One from whom all that we have and all that we are and that we will be come from.
What an amazing day we had - praising the God from whom all blessings flow!
