Our Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. We had 24 people at my Mom and Dad's house including my 88 year old grandfather. The kids had so much fun with their 9 cousins and we all ate too much. All in all we have much to be thankful for!

Choir Comedy

Have you ever had one of those moments where you watch in horror as your child acts up and you are powerless to stop it? We had such an experience Wednesday night... In front of a thousand people, Caleb decided to put on a one boy show and just when you think he is going to behave, he decides to walk off stage and give Grandma a hug and kiss... twice.

I love how Elisabeth tries to keep singing even as her brother drags her to the floor and then she tries to help him up. Priceless!
