Happy Thanksgiving! We have had a pretty great weekend on the homestead. Our festivities began on Wednesday night. That's when we celebrated our very first Thanksgiving dinner at our house. Carl fried a turkey, and the girls and I made the sides and desserts. I was a bit nervous, but so excited to be able to sit around the table with just our family and give thanks. I mean, we do have so much to be thankful for, starting with this little girl:
Wrenley Elizabeth
I even broke out the real dishes, who am I?!
All of us girls
Aunt Kena and Wren
Uncle Rooster loves his niece :)
Oh Pappy! Wren wants some of what you have!!
Caleb got her all tucked in!
It was such a fun night.
On Thanksgiving Day we went to my Grammy's for lunch. This was our first major holiday without my Papa. It was very different to say the least. We invited our preacher and his family to come eat with our family since they didn't have anywhere to go. Ever since I can remember, my family has welcomed our pastors/families to eat (Easter, Thanksgiving, Mother's and Father's day, etc). My Papa was BIG on families. He didn't grow up with his for very long, so he knew how it felt to not have anyone to be with.

Goofballs had the frame upside down!
After we ate lunch we were of course stuffed, so we went home and took a nap :) It literally rained (and I mean POURED) all day.
On Friday we went to Carl's mom's house. It was only his mom and his sister that showed up but it was nice to be able to visit.
I am thankful that God has blessed me with much more than I deserve.
Much Love,
Beth
