Thanksgiving weekend

What a great weekend! We had Thanksgiving at my sister Dawn's house. My parents were still in town from the wedding last weekend. A bunch of the guys and kids went outside and tossed the football around. Tyler and Emily had lunch with us and dinner with her family. It's still weird seeing Tyler with a wedding band on his hand.
The Grimms came in town this week and rented a house on lake Oconee. We spent the night with them on Friday and spent all day Saturday with them. We had lots of fun boating, picking acorns, making gingerbread men, and grilling out. At night we sat by the fire and played lots of games and watched Christmas shows. We were neighbors for 10 years (5 in Marietta and 5 in Athens) before they moved to Florida this past spring. Alison and Ellie came home from China 4 months apart and have grown up like sisters. Emma really loves their family too. She cried when we left them.
Tonight I've been reflecting on all the amazing things I have to be Thankful for and am overwhelmed with thanksgiving. God is so good!!!
