The kids had a whole week off for Thanksgiving- so Brigham took it off of work as well. We couldn't go far though because Brig had basketball practice- since he made the JV team. We did go to Utah for a day and a half and had a great time hanging out with family.
We came back home for our own Thanksgiving Feast. Since Brigham was on call this year we didn't invite anyone over- cause I would hate to carry on the feast with him gone and this way we could just do it when he was available. Everything turned out delicious and it was so fun making dinner with the whole family.
Friday we hosted Brigham's family- Mom, Dad, single siblings, Sperry Redds, and the Bates. It was fun to have them in our home. We ate, chatted, played games, watched a movie and ate some more.
In our 16 plus years of marriage we have only ever had Thanksgiving with our parents twice. Crazy!
We have been amazingly blessed in our lives and we whole heartedly give all the glory to our God!
God does not look on the outward appearance. I believe that He doesn’t care one bit if we live in a castle or a cottage, if we are handsome or homely, if we are famous or forgotten. Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God’s love encompasses us completely.
