G as in Gnu: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! I've been thinking about all the things I am especially grateful for this year. Of course, God and His son, Jesus Christ, top the list. Also my amazing husband, B. I could do nothing without him. he is so amazing. And my incredible little girls, E and Little B. Seriously. Could I ask for more awesome kids? I don't think so. They are kind, fun, smart, and compassionate. I lucked out. I am also SO grateful this year for singing, and for the amazing choir I have a privilege to be a part of. I sing in a choir of about 50 people, and it is the most incredible experience to perform and share with those wonderful people. I am so blessed.

For Thanksgiving we packed up the kiddos and the car and drove the 5 hours to my aunt's cabin to enjoy some turkey and good company. Ever since I was a baby, we've been going to the cabin for Thanksgiving. My grandparents and my dad and his siblings built it when he was a teenager, and it's a very, very special place. This year, we had almost 40 people! It was awesome! We even had to rent the cabin next door to prevent the fire marshall and his buddies from descending en masse.

Getting a little stretch during the long drive. Little B is just learning to walk. Doesn't quite have it yet without sister's assistance.

Hanging out at the cabin.

A rousing game of Thanksgiving-day Duck, Duck, Goose! Who needs football anyway....

Sadly, I got zero pictures of the actual meal and the record-setting crowd in attendance. But it was awesome.

The day after Thanksgiving we always venture into the forest to cut down our very own Christmas tree. They're sparse, but they're authentic. And we love them.
