This time of year always brings such joy and fond memories flooding back. I remember eating Thanksgiving dinner at our house, then running next door to my best friend Paul's house and eating there as well. The picture reminds me of when my grandma visited from CA - what a blessing she was for my family!
There's nothing better then having family and friends around to truely show you just how blessed you are. My family had Thanksgiving dinner at my brother Jeff's home in Lee's Summit, MO. What a great time to be with my brothers and sister and their family's! It was also great to experience this Thanksgiving with our newest addition...Addison Lynne, my grand-daughter from Colby!
Winter is now upon us in Kansas City. We awoke Wednesday morning to rain and temperatures in the 20's. That rain soon turned to blowing snow - what a wonderful thing to see! Steph and I ran in an annual event for us - 5K Turkey Trot run. This year, we decided not to drive all the way down to Overland Park, KS and stay in our neck of the woods by going to Parkville; we had a great time and a good run, which always means you can eat more when you have paid your dues by getting in a run before hand.
We plan to travel to Winchester, KS tomorrow to enjoy Thanksgiving with my extended family - Steph's family is going out to my sister-in-law's family farm to share Thanksgiving across a couple of families. What a blessing we have when we have our health and family all around us; God has given me a remarkable year, one that I will remember for the rest of my life!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
