Thanksgiving 2011

It was wonderful to have a full week off of school, to welcome family from out of town and enjoy the beautiful Houston weather all together!

The whole Achterkirch family was together from Dallas and Minneapolis.

What sweet memories we made!

There was frisbee throwing, laughing, swimming, donut making, story telling, bingo playing (with Nannie's great prizes!), trampoline jumping, walking, zip-lining, napping, cooking, shopping, reading, football throwing, eating (lots of eating!)  and some hard core hoops competing!


Thanksgiving Day was also Peter's birthday.  Fourteen.  How very blessed we are by you, Peter and we pray God's continued blessing upon your life as you seek to live for Him!

Here is the big guy getting some sister love!



And of course, Thanksgiving day will never be the same for our family since seeing David's referral photo on Thanksgiving two years ago and making the decision to bring him into our family.  God is so good.

It's been a great week.  I hope your Thanksgiving was blessed in every way, too!
