Thanksgiving

The oddest thing about Thanksgiving here is the lack of cold weather.  Yesterday was actually one of the hottest days we've had.  It just doesn't seem very Thanksgivingy.  I imagine Christmas will be the same, except that I plan on decking the house out with holly, shiny orbs on green trees, and tiny reindeer.

Our team, with the addition of Carson's parents, met together for the day at the Groens' house.  We each brought several delicious things to eat and ended up with somewhat of a feast: stuffing, casseroles galore, pies a plenty, and much much more.

Lunch was followed with naps and games.  No college football though.  Baylor had a fantastic time running around with everyone.  And the running is almost becoming literal.  Her abilities to move around upright are rapidly improving.

The only disappointing part of the day was when we tried to skype with our families.  The internet was down so we only got to talk to Brett's family for a few minutes and mine not at all.  However, I'm sure there will plenty more opportunities to chat over the next month or so what with birthdays and Christmas looming near.

We're so thankful for this past year.  We have a beautiful baby girl, a house to live in, food to eat, a car to drive, wonderful family and friends.  God is indeed good.
