Where did I leave off?!

I don’t really remember where I left off here. I probably should go and check! Oh yeah – a few weekends ago no – when Kyle was hunting, and I was scrapbooking! Seems like so long ago already. So much has happened since then of course! Kyle came home with his two deer – he was proud as a piper! He and Jeff (his buddy who got a 15 point buck!) thought they were rockstars! It is kind of fun to see them that excited about their sport and their achievement!

The girls were even proud of their daddy!

We’ve made our Christmas ornaments for this year – little porcelain ornaments that the girls painted with glitter paints!

And we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving!

Before Church – my three sweeties:

Before the 20 guests arrived – kids table:

Adults table:

The kids table with kids – 9 to be exact! So much fun, so many little minds!

The adult table – Had 11 adults total.

And once we cleaned up from this party we sat for a brief moment and headed to our next party!

Great conversation with family, I think we all took it pretty light on the food – most of us were still full from lunch!

My mom with Gracyn – Gracyn is all hot and sweaty from bouncing around!

It was an all out bounce party!!!

Selah, Braelyn, and their cousin Sadie – playing something – not sure what you call this?! I guess just rolling the ball to each other.

And now those three little tired girls are sleeping in this fort that Kyle made for them today! Fun stuff! These are the things I did when I was growing up with my cousins! Love it!

So so many things to be thankful for and I am trying not to take a single one of my blessings or hardships for granted! Wish Thanksgiving was more ingrained in my mind like this daily! Simply put: I am Thankful for a God who loves me, friends who put up with me, a family I adore, and so much more! (from my facebook status today!)

I am looking forward to a weekend of recovering and relaxing with my husband and kiddos! No black Friday shopping for me – no money, and I don’t really shop to begin with, so shopping when it’s totally hectic and chaotic is just not something I’ve ever wanted to do! How about you – big plans for the weekend?!
