A Week of Thanks and Celebration/Our Sun

The week started with a delivery of brownies

with the words "Guess Who?" written in pink icing on top.

 

Then a grand entrance of

 HOPE, MISH, and CHARLIE

through the door...

surprising me to tears...

happy, joyful tears!

 

The week of celebration began...

celebrating

 and concentrating

 on all that we are thankful for...

and as we shared around the Thanksgiving Table

(2 different times...lol)

the main theme was FAMILY...

and you all know my take on the definition of FAMILY..

it does extend beyond the nuclear!

 

I'm thankful for

 each

 and

 every one of you!

Now,
let the good times roll...




Christa wrapped some twine around a jar and declared herself a "crafter"....


A competitive game of GoFish was part of the festivities...


now here is one of my all-time favorite activity in life....sitting around a "campfire"...
in the woods or city... it matters not..and here's a first - roasting mini-marshmellows....

 

 Alot of mooing going in these pictures...on the humans part....

Jade showing off her vertical leap...Lexi looking a little jealous...

 

Three of my favorite people in the world...

 

 

The week ended with celebrating

Christa entering her 30's!!!...

 

 

 

 

and presenting her with the word collage of adjectives

that so accurately describes

 

this "loved" daughter of mine!

                                                                          ^^^^ (my word)

 

 

Here comes OUR sun...
