Thanksgiving

 A couple weeks prior to Thanksgiving, I continued with our family's annual tradition of making a thankful tree. I always enjoy seeing what specific items the kids add to the tree. Adley was so proud to write her own leaves this year. We certainly are thankful to our gracious God for His many, many blessings!

Jon and Chelsea hosted the Schleicher side of the family for a Thanksgiving Day meal in their newly remodeled kitchen. Such an enjoyable day together with some very tasty food!

I am typically so bad at getting photos on Thanksgiving. Thankfully, Jon captured many great memories for all of us!

Each of the families contributed to the meal. I brought a cranberry salad and a pumpkin cake dessert. I got this tasty dessert recipe from a 10-year-old girl from our connect group who loves to bake. She was so proud when I asked for her recipe, so I sent her this photo of my completed dessert. :)

After the meal, we played games, watched football, and played sports outside. We stayed long enough to have a charcuterie board full of yummy food for dinner. What a relaxing day! Living close to family to have these special days together is definitely one of our favorite blessings from God!
