I am one of those that believes that Thanksgiving is an important holiday. It’s not just about eating turkey and pie (although that part can be very enjoyable!). I have recently come to feel that there is great power in gratitude so we are working with our kids for the whole month of November on…
Just have to share some final things about Halloween this year before we get too wrapped up in Thanksgiving & Christmas (so much to blog about!).Here is our family shot from the church Halloween party. Yes I know I have a really funny look on my face–I was trying to BE the lamppost (what expression…
