Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at an awesome place in South Lake Tahoe with two other families from our church. Altogether, there were seven kids and six adults. We had a great time together, and the kids got along surprisingly well. We ate lots of food on Thursday, took a trip up to Emerald Bay on Friday (we forgot Abigail's coat and it was a windy, maybe 40 degrees so we didn't last long), and got some snow on Friday night and Saturday. The kids favorite activity was to walk down to the lake (two blocks away) and sled down a small hill. We didn't have any sleds so a cafeteria tray from the cabin sufficed. I can't believe five kids (Olivia and Johnny the one year old didn't do any sledding) were happy with that, but they gladly took turns. They also liked playing on the snowy playground.

We are very thankful for the means to be able to do something like this and good, believing friends to celebrate a special holiday with together! At Thanksgiving we all went around and said what we were thankful for, Jeremy said he's thankful he knows where God wants him for now (seeing how we own a house in a market that's tanked), I said the girls (and specifically the long awaited Olivia) and Abigail said 'nothing'. Great! She eventually said Olivia but just goes to show you never know what is going to come out of their mouths.
