Thanksgiving

We headed south for Thanksgiving this year. We ate, enjoyed good family time, helped decorate the tree, took a day to visit extended family, hiked, played with cousins, and ate some more. 
There is no way to express how much we have to be thankful for. Especially in light of what is going on in Oliver's birth country where so many people have been driven from their homes because of violence, we know that we have more than we deserve. 
We are thankful. 
Thankful for this little boy



Thankful for this father, husband, and friend. 

Thankful our family is all here this year. 

Thankful for papas (and nanas and grandpas and grandmas) that love our kids,...and tell such great stories.

Thankful that we are not relying on this picture to remind us of a great time together. 

Thankful for siblings that love each other (most of the time)

Thankful for special memories that time cannot take away.
