Shout joyfully to the Lord all the earth;
Serve the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful singing.
Know the the Lord himself is God, it is he who has made us and not we ourselves.
We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his courts with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him; bless his name.
For the Lord is good. His lovingkindness is everlasting and his faithfulness to all generations.
Our Thanksgiving holiday was filled with lots of fun and house hopping! We began the day at the Turkey Trot (our third consecutive year- I think you can call it a tradition now!) where we were joined by Nana and Paw Paw and Aunt Jenn. We also talked our good friends the Crawfords into paying money to do a 5K early Thanksgiving morning too!
After the Trot, we headed to Nana and PawPaw's to have traditional mimosa's and watch the Macy's Parade. Elizabeth was really into it this year; of course Dora was her favorite balloon!
Lunch was at my Granny's house- so yummy! Then we went to Aunt Kim's home to be with Justin's family for awhile. After that, it was NAP TIME, so back to Granny's house. When the girls woke up, we decorated the Christmas tree. Finally, home to sleep!!!!
Friday, we headed to my Aunt's home and spent time with more family. Elaine got to play with her cousin Taylor who is a month younger but 4 pounds heavier! We left there and made the trek to Kaufman to spend the night and hang out there on Saturday. Elizabeth got to help Grammy make muffins and then go with Daddy and Pop to the barn to see all of the animals! She fed the cows and goats and climbed the hay! She was pretty proud of herself:) I will be proud of myself if the outfit she was wearing gets clean enough to ever be worn again!
Although it was a lot of driving and slightly exhausting, what a blessing that we have so much family to spend time with. We are also thankful for our precious CityView church family with whom we get to do life! Jesus, himself, is more than enough, yet he still chooses to provide us with immeasurable gifts. Thank you Jesus!
