Happy Thanksgiving


I am so thankful for Thanksgiving. For setting aside some time to actually BE thankful.
All of Tim's side of the family made it up to Everett for Thanksgiving and it was so much fun.
I always wanted a large family and who knew that I would just have to marry a man with just that!
The only one missed was LJ (Little Jenny) but the noise level didn't really drop with her away.
Just imagine 11 children 8 under the age of 4 with another 11 adults trying to maintain order
and keep the "joy" of thanksgiving alive. But we did it and without much stress or distress and a lot of fun.

And the day after everyone left, it snowed. And boy did it snow! We were out about 2 hours after it started snowing and were able to make a snowman! It is beautiful and winter wonderful here and I am so thankful.

Oh man do I miss the Poetzls.

Crissy said that Colette doesn't even remember me, let alone Luke and Garrison. I knew that would probably happen, but I admit, it did make me misty eyed.

When I think about you all, I am so thankful that God blessed my life with each and every one of you...yes, even Tim =). God bless the Poetzls, every one.
