Turkey! Turkey! Turkey!

This year, I was in charge of making THREE turkeys! It was a lot of work but so much fun! I tried out two different recipes for the dinners in Cumming and then used my favorite for Thanksgiving Dinner with the Jablonski clan!

Friendsgiving

We had our annual Friendsgiving tonight at Kate's. As always, the food was fabulous and the fellowship was even better. Since the Howards and Smiths left Grace Chapel, we don't get to spend a lot of time with them. We look forward to our annual traditions so we can catch up.

Since last year, the Howards have sold their house and are building another, and Waylon sold his business and is looking into other entrepreneurial opportunities.

Wesley and I got Sam and Jack this morning and kept them while Ben and Kate prepared for Friendsgiving. This is  a fun group of kids to watch grow!

Where's Wesley?

He's posing in the Lego Movie!

Small Group Thanksgiving

Tonight we celebrated Thanksgiving with our Small Group. It was delicious and so much fun!

Elizabeth wasn't feeling well (can't you tell?!) so she joined the adults at the Thanksgiving party.

Sunday School

All dressed up and ready to go!

Someone does not like her Sunday shoes!

She's so smart - she already knows the answer!

Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!

Today, Elizabeth was showered with love by so many who have loved her through her first year. We had a great time celebrating all she is! 

Mimi and Pop Pop sent their gift - a new kitchen for Elizabeth
Grammy and KD also sent their gifts - play food and accessories to fill the kitchen

Landmark Retreat

Several months ago, Wesley got a call from our friend Wes Kohring, the youth minister at Landmark Church of Christ in Montgomery. He wanted Wesley to come speak at his fall retreat and Wesley said "Yes!" Though it wouldn't be a great place for Elizabeth to hang out, we knew the boys would love being at the retreat with Wes & Cristal's boys Jonah and Micah.

Wesley and Gerald traveled with Jackson and Philip over to Alabama for the weekend retreat. Elizabeth and I were able to enjoy the fun through all the text pictures that were sent our way.

Dinner at the boys' favorite - Taco Bell 

Wesley said Jackson stayed up with the group until he just crashed in his chair!

What a crew - Philip, Jackson, Micah, Jonah

Baby Grace

Oh How I would love to know what they are talking about!
I am sure Jackson is saying, "Philip, don't fall in"
And Philip is saying, "Oh but it would be fun!"
