We had much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. We were...

...thankful for a healthy family, with nobody getting sick over the long weekend.
...thankful for nice weather to make the drive to Fargo last Wednesday
...thankful for nice weather (on Wed.), which allowed the girls to play at the park. in Fargo. in November.
...thankful for adventurous girls who were excited and thrilled to ride the Ferris Wheel at Scheels.
...thankful for grandparents who love to take care of the girls and give Rob and I a break to be by ourselves.
...thankful for good movies (Bond, James Bond)
...thankful for cute winter coats to keep us warm as the temps dropped 30 degrees on Thanksgiving day.
...thankful for polite girls who behaved themselves at the Fargo Country Club for Thanksgiving dinner.
...thankful for Little Pie who provided us with entertainment (and ate her salad and everyone's tomatoes!)

  1. So glad to hear you had such a great trip! So many wonderful things to be thankful for, for sure. :) :)

    [But when did your girls GROW UP like that??!!! Four definitely looks a lot different than three...which is easy to forget...until confronted with pictures! HA!]
