Whose bright idea was it to host Thanksgiving in her home just a month after moving in??? Oh, that would be me. And it was a bright idea. It gave us major motivation to unpack boxes and get some stuff hung on the walls.
We would have been in trouble has it not been for the family all pitching in to make Thanksgiving Day so easy and fun. Everyone brought something for the meal. Then everyone helped clean up. That's the worst part! (A special thanks to my pregnant sister who worked harder than anyone to help get everything ready. Heather, you are an amazing mama and sister. I am so thankful to have you in my life!)
We had 20 of our nearest and dearest share our home for the day. God blessed us with perfect weather so we were able to sit on the porch some. The guys, and my baby sister, shot some skeet. The kids ran everywhere! And the ladies got to just sit and enjoy each other's company.
Blessed I tell you. Blessed beyond measure.
