Thanksgiving

This year we had a wonderfully quiet Thanksgiving with just the eight of us. It was so stress free and peaceful. We were all so thankful for such a beautiful day. The kids played with some neighbors an impromptu game of baseball while we prepared the food and had such a great time. Once that set of neighbors needed to go eat with their family another neighbor girl came over and played in our backyard until it was time for our dinner.

Such a beautiful day all the way around.
