Thanksgiving already feels like a lifetime ago, how does that happen? We had a good one though. Here are the highlights.
We went to my cousin's sister-in-law's home for dinner. Brooke is always so fun to be with, thanks to her for hosting! Pictured above is my Aunt Lynette with Natalie. Lynette is my mom's baby sister and my closest aunt. We lived close to her while I was growing up and we've always stayed close. It was so great to be with them for the holiday.
Working hard in the kitchen then we enjoyed a wonderful feast. Of course I lost it during the 'thankful' part of the feast. I always do, there is just so much to be thankful for. Afterward the kids roasted marshmallows in the fire pit and we enjoyed pie while the kids watched a movie.
On Friday afternoon David took us into Fountain Hills for a little hike to the overlook for the actual fountain in Fountain Hills lake. The girls did well on the hike, no whining, a miracle!
The girls watching the fountain--it was quite impressive! Love Cyrena's 'wallet' sticking out of her pocket. :)
Awhile back David won a free night's stay at a resort close to Fountain Hills. We headed there after our hike and enjoyed pizza and swimming!
We had a breakfast voucher also and it was TASTY.
After the hotel we met up with the family at the train park. The train park is always a favorite. In this picture is my Aunt Lynette and Uncle Rick with their granddaughter Claire.
It was crowded but so much fun to play and visit and eat a picnic lunch with everyone.

Sounds like a wonderful weekend with familiar faces! ;) There are so many things to be thankful even when we are still faced with difficult challenges at times.
Anna's shirt looks familiar at the bottom, must have been one of the girls. Glad you had a good thanksgiving.
Getting behind is no fun! However, I do love how well you keep up with friends and take the time to leave comments. It's nice to know that Jenna cares. You know you have always been one of my favorite peeps. I miss visiting with you.
What a fun activity!! Anna's Helmet was cute! Who knew there were designer ones!
