Celebrating Family and Friends

This week we spent a wonderful two days celebrating Thanksgiving.  On the first day we had a crowd - my Aunt, Uncle and cousin, our dear Pastor and his family and an old friend Dan.  

This was the first year that Annabel has taken an interest in helping to prepare for the big day, and she made this crazy yummy pumpkin-shaped cheese ball for an appetizer.

It was Matt's birthday, and we enjoyed cheesecake on his behalf (rough, I know - but we were willing to take one for the team!)

The kids entertained us with songs, and then they made special turkey cookies.

On Friday, we had the York's over for seconds.  We have made such amazing friends here, and our collective children are especially close.

 

We are so grateful for the blessings of family and friends.
