good morning :)

this is where i just dump all the pics from my camera. we spent thanksgiving at the station, it was fun being with our "other family"

yes that is tatum laying on the dirty floor, geesh, my children think they have free reign there.

a little decorating around the house and our tree, i let the kids decorate it.

these rolo pretzels things are so good and super easy, a favorite in our house. the kids sound asleep

then, lunch with forever friends from h.s. and our kiddos

my girl and i got new glasses,i let her pick hers out on her own. i figure she should love them she has to wear them everyday!

and my sweet preschooler, can you believe her school pic....

we have lemons growing out of our ears and i like it

and my vanilla is ready to be given away

then we had to get bundled up for the annual christmas parade

and to end it all some yummy goodness

very grateful

ENTER HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING, GO INTO HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE. GIVE THANKS TO HIM AND PRAISE HIS NAME. PSALM 100:4 I AM THANKFUL FOR SO MUCH, MY HARD-WORKING HUSBAND WHO IS AN AMAZING DAD, MY ADVENTUROUS KIDS, FOOD IN OUR PANTRY, JESUS WHO IS DOING A MAJOR WORK ON MY HEART, FAMILY CLOSE BY, CLOSE FRIENDS....JUST TO NAME A FEW. this week we decided to "get away" not too far, actually right in our backyard, lake skinner. i felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. i was amazed again by God's creation. we enjoyed friends and family one night, just us the rest of the time, fishing, bike rides, playing, eating, roasting marshmallows and just being.

and trix for the very first time!
