Thanksgiving 2019...

We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year and were so grateful to spend the day with so many members of our family.  Life isn't perfect at our house, but we certainly have so much and so many people to cherish.  Despite the ups and downs of life we are incredibly blessed and try to remember that each and every day.  This year we have been especially aware of how fortunate we are to have good health and warm beds  where we can rest from the world - it can feel trite to have those at the top of the list, but this year we have really felt these blessings.

After dinner and pie, we all headed out to the movie theater. Grandpa Broadbent was the hero of the day and bought everyone tickets to see Frozen II.  Most of us loved the movie...there were a few sleeping dads, but they at least appreciated the nap.  After the movie everyone else headed home, but me and Tim and the kids walked over to the Riverwoods to look at the lights.  Santa wasn't home, but we still loved the chance to enjoy the lights without any crowds.

Not sure how we got so lucky to have snow on Thanksgiving,

But the kids definitely took advantage.
