Joys of Thanksgiving

Putting the extra leaf in the table...

Building a choo choo train with the chairs...

A feast with family and friends...

Bible, prayer, and sharing of thanks...

 Thanks giving was commanded in the Old Testament... it is still a command from the New Testament  to:  ..."in all things, give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus...."  The pilgrims were just obeying the commands of their God as we obey the commands of the same God today.  It's just pretty neat that we have a legal holiday set aside just in case we forget!  I'm thinking that every month we should celebrate because we do forget rather quickly to be thankful in everything!

A trip outside at more than minus 20 to get some sledding in...

The day after Thanksgiving sale of flannel fabric...

 The older girls and I braved Black Friday at Jo-Ann's Fabric and came home with three bolts of flannel and then some.  They were selling an entire bolt for $12.00.  Everyone is getting new flannel clothing for Christmas.  Baby decided it made a great nest to nap in...

This is where I'll nap today!
