Thanksgiving together

This Thanksgiving was the first holiday we have celebrated as a family of three. We are especially thankful this year for Christian's birth and presence in our family. He is just such a blessing, and we love to watch him grow and change daily!



I didn't have to work (which I was extremely thankful for), so we were able to go to both Hershberger and Sweigart Thanksgiving gatherings! We are double blessed with families that get together and enjoy each other's company. I can't help but think of those that don't have family whether it be distance that separates them, brokenness, or that they're no longer living.
 


At one we went to the Hershberger gathering at Mark and Beth's in Inman. It was good to see many of the extended family and we had a very good meal.


I just thought this picture was interesting..no particular reason.


Then we went to Hesston to have an evening Thanksgiving with the Sweigart family..including Carissa! Grandpa Birky and Darren also joined the rest of the family. Grandpa had flown in, and Darren drove from VA with Carissa. We had another filling meal, followed by a game of dominoes.












We have so much to be thankful for...our family, our health, our homes, and our faith!
