Thanksgiving Together...

Quite honestly the gift of being together is the source is so much thankfulness and happiness. I am truly blessed but this group of people...thank the Lird for good gifts!

Mini Golf

Hannah just completed her reading list, and as her reward she wanted to go to mini golf with grandma and grandad! We had a great time together! 

We had a cap on 5 strokes per hole...

And we often had to fish the call out of the water...

At the very end I made a hole in one and got a free game!! Yay...now we get to go back! 

Thankful walk at Lake Chabot

While RL was at preschool we grabbed a coffee and went to Lake Chabot for a leisurely walk. The leaves were changing (nor cal style) and the girls found a baby lizard!! So much to be thankful for!

Fakes-giving with my Folks

My mom

Called the other day and gave me the best news...dad's work was slow (that's not the best part) so they had time to come and visit us for an early Thanksging...YAY!! 

Starting off at Chipotle 

Reading with Emely

Sleepover and Pump It Up

For Thanksgiving we took the entire week off (just like the public schools around us). We started our vacation time with a sleepover...each girl invited one friend...followed by some okay time at pump it up. Phew...vacation time can be exhausting!!

Biking by the bay

Park Time

Pre Thanksgiving Cleanse

To start off our Thanksgiving we grabbed a coffee and played lots of games. We really enjoyed being together and doing just nothing...playing, going for a hike, and drinking coffee. So thankful for time together and relaxing from our crazy pace of life. 

Playing house...

Today at this park the girls decided to play house. Rachel Lee said, "I'm the orphan at the orphanage!" Hannah the followed, "I'll be the widow." Kate, not to be left out said, "No you be an orphan too and I'll adopt you both!" 

Yes it's a weird way to play house where the typical roles are mom, dad and kids, but I think it reflects what I think of in Gods family...those who need a home are accepted. Those who are broken hearted and lonely find a husband and father to care for them. I don't know what lessons Kay ahead of us on this journey with Emely, but I know that we are all changed by our time with her do far.
