Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays.  Who doesn't love turkey and stuffing and potatoes and pies?!  Ha!  We have celebrated Thanksgiving together with our families ever since the days we were first dating in high school.  Even when we were living in different parts of the country, we always made a point to come home for the holiday... it's great that we now live where our parents and siblings are only minutes away!  While we see family on a very regular basis, Thanksgiving is always such a special day to be together and to share our gratitude for one another and the blessings in our lives.  And did we mention turkey?!   

 

We have started to get excited for the upcoming winter!  Mike has been making preparations to build our first backyard ice rink.  We bought Tommy his first pair of skates and he's already been out practicing on the local rinks.  Kit has already started to organize the Christmas decorations and make plans for Christmas Day.  The last five years or so, we have hosted both families at our home for the Christmas holiday.  We love having lots of people in the house!

 

Kit made an Advent Calendar to count down the days in December until Christmas.

We are excited to have another little one in our home... to share all these fun family moments!  We also look forward to welcoming another birth family into our lives.  We are always grateful for the wonderful individuals that made it possible for us to be a family... our son's birth family.  As you can see from our Blog, we see A and M (and now Baby A too!)  regularly, but we also make sure, especially around the holidays, to be together and celebrate family.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!
