The Fourth Thursday

of every November..who would have thought?
I just found out that Thanksgiving happens this day every year!
Thank you Abraham Lincoln.
Well it was a fun one! I didn't get to be with any of my siblings for the big feast, but found some of my own friends..aka Grandpa Goodman!They even got out and did some roping! It was so fun to watch!Everyone came over for pie that evening and we had a good time.
Then I was asked to go on a little blind date and I agreed only if it was after 8 oclock and the family had left or was soon going to!
We had a good time out in the cold roasting mallows, drinking hot chocolate, and playing games.I love this weather!Friday morning Bre and I got up to conquer BLACK FRIDAY shopping!! I always love going and having Bre nice enough to come with me again this year!
By Friday night we had been successful in shopping, decorating, and working for me. But even after all that exhaustion, Dad and I still decided we would go to the dunes early Saturday morning. We met Trav and Sunni and the Spencer fam there! We had an absolute BLAST!!Thanks to Dad for making the long drive and being so much fun!Today was a special day. Gunner Gene had a birthday! We love and miss him so much but isn't it great to know that families are forever?I sure think so. And I abslolutely love these pictures. What a sweet boy!
Now comes the month of craziness! But I love it. Theres just something about the Christmas spirit...27 days :] Let the season begin!

So lucky that you guys got to meet Stephanie Nielson, she is inspiring.
