Thanksgiving-2022

{ November 28, 2022 @ 9:26 pm } · { Family Fun }

I love national holidays that set a day aside for spiritual reflection and and special family time. We bake special traditional foods appropriate for the day, and take time off from our work and jobs. It is also a day to give thanks. I feel sad when people refer to it as “Friendsgiving”. It tells me they have forgotten what Thanksgiving is all about and join the crowd in twisting the truth of our spiritual heritage in setting aside a special day to thank God for all his bountiful care and blessings. A celebration of Thanksgiving goes all the way back to the children of Israel who celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days. (Leviticus 23). We remind our young children to say thank you when they are given a gift or someone does something special or kind. Thanksgiving is a reminder to us to say thank you to God, our Heavenly Father.

We had a wonderful day as a family eating together, playing games, putting together a puzzle, taking a walk and just enjoying time together. We went around the table and each said something they were grateful for. Some of the family couldn’t be here and we missed them.

Just a few pictures from our day.

Our family enjoys playing games which sometimes get quite lively and putting together puzzles.

We call these two the “Wonder Twins”. They really aren’t twins but have so much fun together. They played lively games of ping pong on the micro board. It is lots of fun and suitable for inside the house.

See these crazy “Wonder Twins” trying to play with their feet. I’ll just say it didn’t last very long!

The only picture of food was my “Luscious Pumpkin Torte”

The horses watched us coming and then ran to walk with us!

Ryan loves soccer and he kicked and dribbled the ball and the way out the lane and across the front field and back.

We had to stop by the horse stable to pet the friendly dogs.

And of course Karla had to love on the kittens.

These two kittens were some of Pickles babies.

Our star performer, Lauren, entertaining us with her original “Green Bean Casserole”!!! In case you didn’t get the message, she loves green bean casserole/
