Thanksgiving

After Ashura, life started to get back to normal again! We got back to homeschooling and Faith going to preschool. It was nice to get back into our routine. Thanksgiving crept up on us and every year we get to celebrate Faith's adoption! We call it Faith Day! It's appropriate that we get to celebrate her so close to Thanksgiving! We're so thankful for her and how she completed our family!

This year Tim's Institute was closed for Thanksgiving. We woke up feeling very thankful for some extra time as a family!

For the past three years we've been invited to our friends house on Thanksgiving morning for cinnamon rolls and the Macy's parade!

Joseph took some pictures of people as they walked in the door. Made us laugh!

watching the parade

Our friends make THE BEST cinnamon rolls!

The kids really enjoyed the parade this year.

That evening we gathered at a different house with a larger group of people for a feast! It was awesome to have some of the traditional Thanksgiving food! YUM!

The kids sat at the kids table!

Joseph took this picture! Makes me smile!

Here's our table! We had fun!

Joseph LOVES Casie! He goes running to her when he sees her!

This was the dessert table. After dinner we went outside because the weather is amazing! Everything was very tasty!

Joseph and Faith sat with Maddy to eat their dessert!

Such sweet girls!

There was an impromptu play about the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock.

Faith was Squanto...though she had no idea who that was! I guess we need to work on our American History!
