Preparing for the holidays

I'm so excited! We have been preparing for the holidays at home and at school. I've learned about the Pilgrims and the Indians and the very first Thanksgiving! Tomorrow at school, we are going to have a turkey feast! On Thursday, we will have an intimate family dinner that mommy's going to make. (And, if you know mommy, she doesn't cook too often...this will be interesting.) There will be plenty of food and space at the table if you want to join us...

I know that Thanksgiving isn't about the food. It's about giving thanks to God, family and friends for all of our blessings. There are so many things that I am thankful for. I thank God everyday for my family, for the food we eat and for dying on the cross for our sins.
And, yes, mommy already started decorating for Christmas?! Daddy thinks it is so silly because it is not even Thanksgiving yet. Mommy says that she wants to enjoy all her pretty things without being rushed and that she wants our home fun & festive before we pack and leave for Dallas. All I know is that I really like it! Preparing for the holidays is so much fun!
Oh, yeah, I'm thankful that I get to see ya'll soon! I can't wait!
Happy Thanksgiving!
WE LOVE YOU!
