Psalm 118:24 - "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

So I have to admit, if we had gone with the original plan to have Thanksgiving at 1-well I feel certain the Culpeppers would have been "no shows"...Murphy was exhausted all morning-he went down for an early nap and voila I had not 1 but 2 well behaved turkeys at the 4pm Thanksgiving celebration!  We were so proud of our little ones-they even said gobble gobble a few times.  What a special day we had celebrating everything we have to be thankful for...Clay and I keep a notebook of "blessings and answered prayers" (even when they aren't the answer we ask for)...it's incredibly powerful to look back and read through this little notebook in the kitchen drawer...you wouldn't believe the things you become aware of when actually start to look for them....

This is the reaction when Skipper stops "to have a coke with us at lunch"

This is actually Paddington's birthday hat, not sure how it ended up on the tink's head

For some reason uncle Sweet Pea makes Murphy really sleepy sometimes

More relaxing....

Emily was home for the weekend-YAY!

There's CC!

And after dinner...out came the pony, where does Lovey keep such things?

Tink might be having a bit too much fun...

Just a little chat with my Joy
