Family Day






The day after Thanksgiving Bob didn't have to work so we decided to fill it with fun. We did McDonalds for lunch and then because it was a dreary day and cold, we opted for the indoor fun of ABQ Jump. The kids had tons of fun and burned lots of energy! FABULOUS! :) The mama and the daddy even got in on the jump action.

And lest you think I totally skipped over Thanksgiving...we had a wonderful day with friends. The Lions lost but we're thankful it wasn't a shutout. And we also discovered that our good friend Dan is totally into a game played with dominoes called 42 that Bob learned how to play recently. Now he has a 42 buddy and a partner with better stratagy than me! Seriously though, we have so much to be thankful for. In the forefront of our minds this Thanksgiving was that we were all together. Last year Bob was half way around the world. The kids and I were with family but it's not the same when you are missing someone. But God brought him home to us safely and for that we are filled with gratitude.
And yes I am sitting at the kid table...and yes we are trying to teach our sons manners (it just isn't sinking in yet).

Great pictures! Can't wait to see you all in a few weeks. We'll have to teach you (kids too) how to play chicken foot dominoes.
