Celebrating an Early Thanksgiving

This past weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving early with my family! My Aunt stopped by on Friday night and spent the night with us while she was passing through town. She had never seen our new house and it had been awhile since she has seen Gracie Leigh so we had fun catching up! Gracie had to show her all her toys, her room, etc. and kept Aunt Susie hopping around the house! I am sure she was exhausted when she left!:) My parents came up on Sat. afternoon and we had an early Thanksgiving meal! G always loves to have playmates and my parents gave into playing whatever she wanted to play!:) We had such a nice time with family! As Thanksgiving approaches it always makes me stop and remember all that I have to be thankful for! God has truly blessed me and our family and to Him I give all the glory! As this busy season approaches (who am I kidding it is always busy around here:)) I encourage you to take time to enjoy the little moments in life and to be thankful for the small things. I am seeing that time flies by so quickly and I have to enjoy every moment while it lasts! Playing with Aunt Susie!
