Thanksgiving has come and gone for another year. I hope you all had a special day with your families and friends. We sure did and we ate entirely too much food. Someone said a typical Thanksgiving meal has 3,000 -5,000 calories, Weight Watchers here we come! My favorite comment of the day was from my nephew Alex. Someone commented that the food was wonderful and Alex said, "This is more than wonderful, it's GLORIOUS!" That made all the work worth while.
Our little group of 5 turned into a great group of 14! Randy's Mom & Dad, his sister Kim and her family, Randy's Uncle Tim & Aunt Debra and my parents joined us for the festivities. My mom and I had so much fun fixing dinner for everyone. She is the best and I couldn't have done it without her!
Randy's Grandma Hatfield fell earlier in the week and had to have hip surgery this morning. She came through the surgery well but Pray that God will give her the strength she needs to recuperate.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to reflect on God's blessings. God has been so close to me this past year and I want to thank Him for His faithfulness. Life isn't always easy, in fact most of the time it's not easy, but I'm so glad we have God to help us through the tough times. Isn't God good!
