An Abundant Thanksgiving

When the combine comes out it's usually a sure sign that Thanksgiving is right around the corner and that mom will get a much needed break from the kids. However, this year I believe we will be combining till Christmas time. We doubled our crop acreage this year and it's taking much longer to harvest then anticipated.
But we did break for a Thanksgiving day program that Trey and his preschool class gave.

What a turkey!

And we took another break for Thanksgiving day with the Beiler family which Arlan and I host every year at our home. It's always a full house but lots of fascinating table talk.

Arlan's cousin Ranae came later with her little girl Katelyn and Trey just absolutely adores her. It's a complete shock to Arlan and I as we watch him talk to her in hushed baby gibber and beg to hold her and kiss her. He spent the entire time bringing toys to show her and tried to teach her what sounds each of them make. This was all a far cry from when Bre was a newborn and he wanted nothing to do with her.

The year has flown by and the Lord has been good to us all. What more could we be thankful for then an abundant life together!
