We love Thanksgiving in
our home and we love gearing up for Thanksgiving. This is the second
year of our Fuller Family Blessings Tree. We start the tree on
November 1st and then every night at dinner we each get to
add a leaf to the tree with something or someone who we are thankful
for. By Thanksgiving we have a full tree. It's a fun way to talk
about Thanksgiving with the girls and also set our hearts and minds
on the season.
We are thankful for our
families all year but Thanksgiving is just not Thanksgiving without
being around family. And we were able to spend a weekend with each
of our families.
The weekend before
Thanksgiving we met my side of the family in Manhattan for the
football game and then all road tripped to my brother and his wife's
house. This Thanksgiving was Ella's first big holiday at home and
Robert and Catherine's first holiday as a married couple. Lots to
celebrate from this year!
Thanksgiving Day was spent
at home, just the 4 of us. I was originally scheduled to work Friday
afterwards but ended up working the overnight shift. Thanksgiving
was a lazy day and unfortunately was a sick day for Matt. We watched
the parade, ate Biscuits and Gravy, and then cuddled up for several
movies. Perfect Day...minus the sick stuff.
We then traveled to the
Fuller Farm for the weekend after Thanksgiving to be with Matt's side
of the family. Everyone was able to make it home and we had a feast!
We had a blast playing UNO Attack with the kids and poker without
the kids. :)
In a world that seems to
be going crazy I am reminded that we have SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL
FOR!!!!
