Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving was at our house for the first time in years. Many, many years. Mitch's mom even came. I bet she actually enjoyed not having the responsibilty and all that work that comes with it for a change.

Sadly, I failed to take more than three photos of the entire day. Two were the tables, and one was of Rach pretending to eat a huge glob of butter, and none of them seem important enough to include on a blog. LOL.
Kind of a bummer since it was Madison's first Thanksgiving, though, obviously, she is too young to even know what was going on, nor will she be for several more years, no doubt. But it would have been nice to have remembere to take a picture of her in her Duke polo dress. Too cute, she was, indeed.

Madison spent the night with me after a group of us made our way through the throngs of people at Walmart to acquire a particular item for Christmas. Thankfully, though it made for a long day, it was acquired this year. However, not sure I would like to tackle that ever again. Madness, with the Walmartians was not my idea of fun.

Thanksgiving I was grateful for having my family all together and for having a roof over my head, food on our table, and took the time to remember the things we generally take for granted.

This year has been full of challenges, no doubt. Hoping the Lord will be bountiful in His provision and blessings next year. We could really use both.
