It's been a busy week so I didn't get to blogging our Thanksgiving until now but I wanted to share a few photos of our family celebration.
We've been doing a few rennovations at our house and have enclosed the covered patio off our dining room. It's made it possible to change the postion of the dining table so we can seat the family with room to spare when we turn the table and extend it into the new room.
It worked very well.
It worked very well.
I'd followed Judy's tutorial on folding the napkins into the "Bishop's Hat". As you can see my family tried them out and found that they could make them do double duty- first as hats and then as napkins. (Check it out at http://judys-front-porch.blogspot.com/2010/09/hat-tricka-napkin-folding-tutorial.html)It was a lovely afternoon and after the big turkey dinner, everyone went outside to enjoy the late afternoon sunshine.
The children were so excited to rake up the leaves and jump into them.
The looks on their faces as they leapt into the piled leaves was pure joy!
Of course leaf fights are inevitable and so much fun!
So much to be thankful for!
Not only a roof over our heads but a home.
Not only food to eat but a wealth of variety and flavours.
Not only family and friends but love and support on all sides.
Above all for a God who not only provides for us
but who loved us enough to send His Son to save us
and provide the promise of eternal life.

Looks like a wonderful day of celebration and thanks! The table works great that way extended to it's limits!! great for larger crowds!
I felt a twinge of sadness when I saw the faces of your family lining your extended dining table. I can remember when our family had a dozen or more at the table, now we are scattered across the country and at best we have seven at the table at one time.
Well, at least one day God's entire clan will be seated at a table that will stretch as far as the eye can see and then some and imagine this: no one will need to clean up the kitchens after the meal is over!
What a lovely day you had. You have much to be thankful for....and I know you are! Hugs!
