Hoping you all are enjoying Giving thanks, eating, shopping, being with family, Christmas decorating and whatever else you do on this Holiday! We went to visit with family and had a lot of fun! BJ and Liz

It was a gorgeous 24 lb. all natural, free range, organic turkey and it was delish!!! The cousins spent the day playing around the house, at a park down the street and also played wii for a bit!

PreK Thanksgiving feast!

So Alexander's PreK class had their little thanksgiving feast yesterday! It was just for their class so I didn't get to see the feast, but here are some pics of Alexander in his Indian costume they made a few weeks ago and head-dress! They also had made the cutest little placemat! All the kids in his class were given Indian names. Alexander's was running dear, thus the deer on his shirt!


Of course, I had to take a picture of Audrey while I was at it! and I must say her eyes look so bright and pretty in this one!

emotional day indeed

I won't lie. I've been a bit of a mess today. With knowing that our time is up for now with my brother and his family. It's silly in some sense, because I know many families go years without seeing each other. It just went by to quickly this visit. Before I knew it we were at the end. I was a ball of emotions and tears this morning at church. Can't explain it, it was just raw, emotional, sad and I was completely at its mercy, couldn't hold it back. So, my sweet brother and fam will be boarding a plane heading back to Zambia tomorrow morning. They are a true blessing and will be missed till 1&1/2years from now they'll be home for a longer stay! Whew! Tomorrow I will breathe, pray and be thankful for the time we had. Thank You God for the blessing of family.
