Thanksgiving

Another quiet Thanksgiving since, like last year, Peter had to work the swing shift. We had a Thanksgiving "lunch" and it was delicious, especially after a 3 1/2 day fast of rice and beans! (For more info on that, read my other blog.) Since it was just the four of us, I cooked turkey cutlets, mashed potatoes, green beans, cornbread stuffing with cranberry sauce and Hawaiian rolls from the store. I did buy a frozen pie, and Peter made homemade whipped cream. We took some photos and shared what we're thankful for, which is so much! We are blessed with an abundance of provision from God. We know that it is to Him that we owe our greatest gratitude for giving us mercy, grace, and redemption, of which we are so undeserving. We thank Him, for He is good and His love endures forever!

We asked the kids what they're thankful for and here are some of the answers we got:

Mom and Dad (J)

Buddy (A)

God and Jesus (J)

Ezra (A)

Beans and Rice (J)

Pillow (A)

Friends (both)

Bike (J)

Video games (J)

My teacher (both)

Arizona (J)

There were more, but it got pretty silly.

We only got 2 usable photos from our little session this morning. And some candid ones during our afternoon walk.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! God bless you today and always!
