Thanksgiving Round 1

This year we were blessed with two rounds of Turkey dinners!
Round 1: The Arnholds
We had a lovely Thanksgiving with my folks at the farm.  It was the usual fam with Nana, Papa, Gigi, Gpa, Aunt Kiki, Jared, Huddy, and I and a new addition this year Daneenie!  Daneen and I work together and I taught 5th grade with her.  She didn't have anywhere to go this year so we invited her up and I'm glad we did!  We were missing Uncle Joe so it was nice to have a distraction.

The whole gang

After our meal, Huddy was ready for bed so we put him down.  

Then it was time to color with the lovely Daneenie and Gigi.

When Hudson woke up, he was excited to play with his turkey Nana got him.  Gobble, gobble!

Afterwards, we joined the men downstairs for some football and lego fun.  Daneen played with Hudson for a few hours making and building houses, cars, trucks, and all sorts of fun objects.  These legos were Uncle Joe's and so they are very special to our family.  We missed you Uncle Joe!

Notice the pink cup?  This is a classic Arnhold heirloom:).

Another classic Jared pic.   Gotta love family time:).

This year it was so nice to be with family.  As I reflect on Thanksgiving, I really have so much to be thankful for.  I started a small list:
1. God
2. Jared
3.  The Hudster (he always makes me smile)
4. Family, immediate and all:)
5.  Our home
6.  Our jobs and provisions (especially the funny things kids say)
7. Our church family and small group
8. The blessings of a healthy family
9. A wonderful daycare for Hudson
10. Christmas music (I can't resist after Thanksgiving)

I'm thankful for you too!
