For Our Many Blessings

We had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving and enjoyed it with the Gladney extended family at Lake Bruin.

Abigail and Joshua were in heaven with so many fun things to do indoors and out. It was fun watching them play together more than just playing around each other. They are both growing so fast!

The zip line and rope swing were big hits. Their confidence grew each time they tried it and by the end of the week they were zip lining without help and swinging as high as we could push!

They also enjoyed climbing trees ...
riding in wheelbarrows ...
and doing crafts with Aunt B!
By the end of each night, they were exhausted.
Thanksgiving Day also happened to be Abigail's third birthday! Not to be outdone by the turkey holiday, we hosted a Cinderella birthday party that morning. Here is her homemade birthday cake that, thankfully, tasted better than it looked!
So much love for one little girl!

She was so cute opening presents and really focused on each one. She would gasp with excitement at the first glance of EVERY present!

This is one happy Cinderella! Happy 3rd Birthday Abigail!
Oh yeah, Luke was there too! Poor baby didn't get much camera time. He devoured his sweet potato Thanksgiving dinner and chased it with some Puffs!

We sure did miss spending the week with this crew below! Can't wait for 2013 to ...

sit around these tables and ...

enjoy this yummy spread!

We are so blessed! Thanks be to God!
