Thankful

We had a very wonderful Thanksgiving with our precious families.  We spent most of our time at the Smith Farm near Welch, MN.  Thanksgiving morning was beautiful, and we enjoyed time outside, including a 5k Turkey Trot for Melodee, Mike, and myself.  It cooled off continually during the day, and by evening the ground was white!
Here is to having a spirit of Thanksgiving each and every day!

Fun with cousins!
Zach thought it was warm enough to scoot around with bare feet!

The boys and sweet Cashmere.
Ellie and Nora had a little picnic outdoors with Rory the Dwarf Nigerian goat!

Blue eyes!

Friday afternoon and evening, we also spent time with all of my immediate family plus my grandparents, my aunt and uncle, and 3 of my cousins and their families.  We are so fortunate to be able to spend so much time with our loved ones!

November

As Thanksgiving approaches, we are thankful for beautiful weather, a lovely farm, our fine furry friends, and growing kiddos. I especially am glad that "Movember" is nearly over!
