Thanksgiving (Way late)

Unfortunately I don't have pictures to share from Thanksgiving. It seemed like such a rushed day. I worked the night before and also had to work Thanksgiving night, this however didn't stop us from enjoying dinner with our families. We drove to Ann Arbor, Michigan to Aunt Mary Ellen's house and had a wonderful dinner and great conversation with loads of family.

The most memorable event on Thanksgiving was when Veda said Grace in front of the entire family. My heart nearly melted into a puddle. She stood at the table with such confidence and belted it out. I wish I had it on Video to share. Such a sweet moment.

Now that its December we are celebrating Christmas and trying to instill the true meaning of Christmas into our children. Veda understands that its Jesus Birthday and we will begin the tradition of baking a cake to celebrate his birthday in the same manner as we celebrate our own. We still get excited about Santa, presents, holiday treats, gingerbread houses, and snow! Its such a magical season and its so much better with Children to share it with!
