"This is the Day!"


It is two days after Thanksgiving and we had a great week. There were around 23 - 24 people at our home for Thanksgiving dinner and we still are eating leftovers...we need to try to figure out what to make and not make so much of!
We had Alyssa's 10th Birthday party last Sunday with 30 people in attendance. It was a surprise party after church and boy was she surprised! The Lord has blessed us with faithful and wonderful friends.
On the day after Thanksgiving we always go for a family drive. This year we headed north on Hwy. 271 and ended up in Idabel, Oklahoma! We stopped at our favorite mom and pop store - Cackleberry's, and bought some little antiques and nick-nacks. We ate a late lunch and drove home in time to enjoy the evening at home. We love just have some quiet family time in the car. The girls bought new books and had some quiet reading time while we listened to Christmas CD's and talked.
