Thanksgiving

This year we traveled to Missouri to spend Thanksgiving with Dan's family. We had such a wonderful time visiting family and seeing the sights that Missouri has to offer. On Thanksgiving Day we ventured out to Abby's great-grandmother's house. Hazel and her brother, Vern, shared their beautiful home with us. We missed seeing them! Other family members that shared this special day with us included Aunt Donna, Uncle Aldo and Natasha.

Before we ate, Dan and I took Abby outside to enjoy the beautiful pond that is near Hazel's house. She had a fun time playing in the leaves and looking at the ducks. It was very cold that morning so we only were outside for 15 minutes but we had fun.

After a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings we were treated to a slideshow of Donna and Natasha's trip to the Holy Land. Thank you Aldo for preparing such a wonderful show!

We had such a lovely time spending Thanksgiving with Dan's family. We hope to visit more often!
