What a great day! We are blessed to be so close to both sides of our families, so we had a very full day of yummy food and giving thanks. I really love Thanksgiving.

This is what happens when you try to take a picture of all the little ones at the end on the night. Not so great! Next time I’m going to try to remember to take a group shot before they are all worn out!

These guys LOVED trick-or-treating this year! We’ve got the army guy, the sheriff, and the UPS man.

These are the expressions we get when Uncle Kyle stands behind the camera and tells them to make a mean face!

 ”For God so loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 
 This Easter, Noah has been asking so many questions about Jesus and why He died for us on the cross. He’s trying to wrap his mind around something so complex and yet so simple. I just keep telling him, “He did it because He loves you, and He wants you to live with Him forever when we’re all done on this earth.” Praying for my little man as seeds of faith are beginning to sprout!

Noah had his Grandparent’s Day and Valentine’s Day party at preschool on Friday. He was so excited to have his Nana and BG come!
