Thanksgiving Reflections...

Wow! I've got to say that our Thanksgiving has been very nice. I enjoyed cooking, our dinner turned out well, Ken's mom was with us, and we were all feeling blessed by all we have to be thankful for. Christopher and Abbey's excitement was definitely contagious.

Now, keeping with tradition, we did get out early Friday morning in search of goodies. We didn't find everything (still in stock) we were looking for but we did pretty well just the same. We went back out for a bit on Saturday and found an early birthday present for Ken as well as a Christmas present for me!

Sunday was more on the quiet side and time to start focusing on Monday and the week ahead. Ken and the kids got started on the derby cars for AWANA. The December 5th race will be here before we know it. So far they're looking good! Just between you and me, Abbey will be racing her pick-up-truck this time around and while I don't know the proper name, Christopher's car is looking way-cool! Elisa and Darrell are back home safe and sound and I talked to Matthew and Shannon on the phone. Seems Matthew made a pecan pie!

I started playing a bit with my new GPS and am really looking forward to using this new toy on a regular basis. We're all tired (in a very nice way) and as the leftovers get eaten and our thoughts turn to Christmas, I find that Thanksgiving 2007 is already fading into a fond memory.

I hope you can say the same... Have a wonderful week!
