| Church's chancel for Thanksgiving. |
We had a very nice Thanksgiving. We started it in a very good place, Church! We thank God for all His mercy and blessings upon us and for His most precious gift, His Son!
A few members from Church joined us for a traditional meal (the very first one I cooked all by myself! It was edible!! :).

One way we got ready for Thanksgiving was by making a "Thankful Tree" this year. The boys got to write something they were thankful for on a leaf for the month of November. They had some very sweet ones (such as Daddy and Jesus dying for my sins) and some funny ones (the color orange and numbers and clocks). It was a good practice for us all to set time aside to think about what we were thankful for!
Christmas Tree Hunting!
We have been going out the day after Thanksgiving for a few years now. It is a fun time to hike and spend some time together. Abel is quite the hiker/climber and has little fear. He climbed this all by himself!

Abel's Birthday!
Abel turned 6 on the 30th. He requested Carrot cake and a party. He had his friends from the neighborhood over to play and have cake. It was a fun time!
Opening presents!! He got a lot of Lego's, which he loves!
A gift from Grandma Beda to hang in his room.
November was a very busy month with 3 birthdays and Thanksgiving. We all made it and even had fun! :)
