Gratitude

We had a wonderful celebration of Thanksgiving yesterday.  Ryan and Samantha invited us to their  home along with other family members and friends.  They have plenty of room both inside and outside the house.  The day was a picture perfect Thanksgiving Day- not to hot and not to cold, no snow and plenty of sunshine.  Everyone brought something yummy to eat and we enjoyed a marvelous meal filled with the bounties of the earth.  We also enjoyed our time together and all have reason to take some time and count our blessings.  Thanks to all who came and joined us in this celebration of Gratitude.  A special thanks to Ryan and Samantha for hosting such a large group in their home.  We love you and your family very much and are deeply appreciative of all you did to make this such a wonderful and memorable occasion.  We missed those who couldn't come and hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful as well.  We all have so very much to be grateful for.  Take some time and make a list., well maybe just a partial list, and discuss it with your families.  Below are just a few of the pictures of the days events.

Yummy food a plenty!
 Pies of all sorts and sizes.
Every yummy treat imaginable!
Then there was crafting for the kids and the women. The men watched football and visited.

Again thanks be to the Lord for all our blessings material and otherwise.  We are indeed blessed.
