Thanksgiving, then onto Christmas


Greetings,

Well here it is December. We have snow and Christmas is only a few weeks away. I put the outside Christmas lights up the Friday after Thanksgiving, and I am glad I did. The 40 degree weather that day was good compared to today.

I guess I should be doing Christmas cards, time goes so fast. We just finished Thanksgiving and here it is December. The news tells us it because there are 5 less days between the Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, which means its going to go even faster! (No wonder time goes so fast, and here I thought it was a age thing)

We had a good Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving day, the kids went to the other parents this year, and I went up to my sister's family with my mother. Then on Saturday, we all gathered at Layne & Amy's and had our family Thanksgiving. It was very nice.

After we ate, I passed out memory items for the kids and Anna (something that Sherry and I started last year). Simple little tokens that mark the year of Thankfulness and the memory of Sherry. It is said to keep a memory because you can not relive it. I am thankful for all of the memories.

I am also thankful for all of the invites from all of our friends for meals and time out. As our family goes through this Holiday time, we will strive to keep our focus on God and His grace.

Thank you for prayers and amazing support.

Dave and family.
