The Lucky Turkey

While all of us were sitting around letting the turkey settle and the pie percolate, the kids put together an adorable little impromptu play. Have you ever seen a cuter turkey in your life?! I mean his body is a big box and they stuck paper in his mouth for a beak. And the FEET!! Hahaha!

He even has colorful turkey feathers in the back. Bless his little turkey heart!

Now to be honest, I’m not totally clear who everyone was here. But I’m thinking pilgrims perhaps?

In the end, they decided NOT to eat the turkey because he was just too cute! Hooray!

I can guess what won those hungry pilgrims over.

It was those adorable turkey FEET!!

Oh, my goodness I love these kids!

Look What WE Have!!

This, my dears is our newest little sweetheart–Merrick. He’s the happiest little soul that you’ve ever seen and OH, so much fun to snuggle and kiss.

 Do you just adore the matching ties for church?

He is the son of Dane & Kortney and the dearest little grand-baby imaginable.

So glad they are close by so they can share all this happiness with us.

Mother’s Day Surprise

My family is soooo cute! They each came and spent a part of Mother’s Day with me. And I was given the most AWESOME gifts this year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Among them was a beautiful, HOT PINK Kitchen Aid mixer!! Yes, yes, I know–it’s gorgeous and get this…

It matches my toaster!!!

But here’s a tip. Look closely before you throw any boxes away–

or you might miss one of the best gifts of all.

So, So Thankful

So very much to be thankful for this year.

The new exciting things, the old, comfortable things.

A few very, very hard things…

and some incredibly wonderful, happy things.

All, I believe, designed by our loving Heavenly Father to help us stretch and grow and love harder and stronger and ultimately…

to bring us closer to Him.

I am indeed grateful for my sweet home and cute chickens and my dear, dear family….

some of whom may or may not be playing chess…

at the dinner table.

And I love them to bits.

Happy Thanksgiving my friends.
