A Season Of Thanks

Thanksgiving was a sweet time of fun and fellowship with family and friends this year. And a time to reflect on just how blessed we really are. Lottie began this season of thanks with a turkey cupcake party with her Friday morning playgroup. What fun they had making...and EATING...their turkeys!!!

On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we have started a wonderful tradition of gathering with three other families from our adoption travel group to China. Three families including us are in the area and the fourth family travels through Raleigh to visit family on Thanksgiving! We are so very blessed to have such a wonderful group of people to have shared this adoption journey with. They always enjoy each other as you can see here!

Lottie enjoyed sharing with her friends that she was going to be a "BIG SISTER"!!!

We always gather each year for a Thanksgiving covered dish meal with extended family. Here is a peek at our smorgasboard!!! We left fat and happy!!!

A few family pics taken of us and my sister's family on Thanksgiving Day!!

We returned home where our our dear friends from the beach joined us for the weekend.

We always have fun catching up, doing a little shopping, and this year the kids broke in our newly transformed garage playroom!

Here they are playing a heated game of Risk well into the wee hours of the morning!

Oh such fun!!!

And greatest thanks and praise to our King of Kings and Lord of Lords who has blessed us abundantly!
