Happy Thanksgiving

I just wanted to share some of the things I am thankful for this year. :)

This has been a very challenging year for us but God has never left our side. He has shown His presence in so many ways and has given me a peace beyond all understanding. I am so grateful for the sacrifice the Jesus made for us, so I can have everlasting life. Now that is Love. Some days I am just so in awe of His power and glory. Thank you the the God of Gods and the Lord of Lords for being such a power in my life and being my rock.

I am so thankful for my husband and kids, they make my smile and laugh everyday. They are a light in my life. I am thankful for my wonderful family and my friends. I am so lucky to have the friends that I do. They make me feel so special and loved. They have great hearts and mean the world to me.

I am also thankful for my new house, I know that doesn't surprise anyone :) but I am. It has been such a blessing.

What are you thankful for this year?

I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.

Girls Day

I had so much fun. We went out and had a girls day earlier this week. Hannah and I went and picked up Abby and we went out to lunch and to a movie. We saw Madagascar 2 and this is the girls after the movie being "Alex the Lion".

This is the first time I have ever taken Hannah to a movie theater (Not even when she was a little baby). I waited to tell her that we were going until we were in the car, because she tends to rub it in Jacob's face when she gets to do something. I could just see her saying "guess what Jacob? I get to go to the movies with Abby." That would not go over well with him :) . So I waited. And her response was so disappointing. She says "cool". That was it. No excitement at all just "cool". But then in her defense, she did not know what a movie theater was. LOL.

Anyway, after the movie Abby came over for a sleepover. That is always fun. We baked cupcakes and made our own pizza's for dinner and watched movies, rode bikes, played red light/green light, and Simon says and when I finally got all the kids to sleep it was about 11pm and I was tired :) I slept really well that night, until Jacob was up and 6am. Ugh.

But I absolutely love doing it and can't wait for the next time when Abby can come and have a sleepover.

Harvest Festival

We did not go trick or treating but we took the kids to the harvest festival at our church. They had so much fun. It was really hard to get a good picture of them, but I did my best. I think I need a new camera.

Hannah was my cute little bumble bee and Jacob a baseball player. They got lots of candy and played really hard. Our church rents those big bouncing things (I think that is the official name for them :) ), and they have a room just for smaller kids, and they bounced and ran for two hours. Needless to say they went to bed easy that night.
