What a glorious Thanksgiving we shared with friends.
The day was beautiful in every way.
I didn't take ONE picture....so sad!
The highlight was our Texas pecan pies
made from the pecans we collected a few weeks back, remember? That's HERE.
Today, Meredith led the charge to deck the halls for Christmas.
Ian and Peter brought down all the boxes from the attic and the kids went to town.
I delighted in Meredith's interest and careful attention.
She did the mantel all by herself with greenery and berries and flowers
It is lovely and she was quite pleased as well!
The Jesse Tree found its place in the family room
My favorite angel sits atop the piano
The creche is assembled
(a youth group fund raiser from many years ago!)
Charlotte is outside working on lights
My kids are taking over this year....and its kinda fun!
Christmas music is playing and we made a Starbucks run for warm drinks...
If only we would have had the dusting of snow that MN received this morning...
nonetheless, it's been a great couple days being all together as a family
sweet, sweet memories of another Thanksgiving
and we look forward to the Advent season as we
prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ!
I pray your Thanksgiving was a blessing, too!
