Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving Day? I sure hope so!! Maybe you haven’t finished all of your Thanksgiving celebrating yet? Enjoy this blessed holiday weekend!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

Not only do we have the blessing of David, Kayla, and Clyde living with us right now, but Blake, Grant and Addie Mae were all off work for Thanksgiving Day as well!

We had a great time getting the food and the house ready for friends that were coming over!

Addie Mae and I planned a finger food feast for our Thanksgiving celebration!

The guys shot some clay targets after we ate. It was way too cold for me – us girls stayed inside!

We had such a wonderful time of fellowship! My heart was SO full by the end of the day!

Eliza has struggled greatly today. It has been quite awhile since we have had a day like today – so it had me reflecting on what could have caused her struggles.

The obvious thing is that the house was full yesterday. We also have not had structure this week with David and Kayla being here and the holidays. I also wonder if removing the railing from her bed might have caused some insecurity. I have been wanting to remove the littles bed railings for awhile, so while I have big helpers here I grabbed the opportunity. Maybe I should have waited to the rest of her world was more normal?

I am SO grateful though. Today made me realize how little we deal with days (or even moments!) like this one anymore! Our sweet baby is SO brave and strong. She KNOWS, really KNOWS all that she must overcome. And she TRIES. I couldn’t be more pleased with how well she is doing!

Also – about the Thanksgiving holiday. I enjoyed it to the FULLEST – but we choose to live in a state of thankfulness every single day. No need for a holiday to be thankful. It should be the state of your mind and heart at all times! Jesus tells us to rejoice always!!

That is something I really truly enjoy doing!!

Have a wonderful weekend, you all!!
