We are thankful, we are thankful...

For our family, our friends, our home, our jobs, our health, our numerous blessings, and most of all the love of our Lord.  This year we went to Missouri to celebrate the holiday and to spend some time with my family at a family reunion.  The kids were amazing in the 10.5 hour car ride and for most of the time you wouldn't have known they were there.  Hannah was happy to watch movies and Caleb was happy to have a continuous supply of snacks :).  We had lots of both, so they were content.  We arrived in Overland Park, Kansas in the middle of the afternoon and were welcomed by our loving family!  The weather was absolutely gorgeous that week and we were able to play outside quite a bit.  The cousins had so much fun together and enjoys hours of playing babies and bouncing in the bounce house.  While we were there we were also able to enjoy Gracie's 5th birthday party--something that Hannah looked forward to for many many weeks!

Mimi and her 5 little funny monkeys...

Abby (7), Grace (5), Hannah (3).  The best of friends and the best of cousins.  Hannah said to me.  "Momma, Abby, Gracie, and Emma aren't only my cousins, they are my best friends".  It is so special to share this time with them and even though we live miles and miles apart from one another they still have such a strong bond.  Love is amazing!

Some pictures from the park...a rarity for the end of November.
