The Lord is my Light and Salvation

I walked out to the barn on this foggy morning and was taken back by the morning sunshine.  I grabbed the camera to try to capture the beauty but of course (I am not very good with a camera) the pictures do no justice.

More Pictures from Thanksgiving 2016

Of course I failed to get any pictures of our actual meal, but Bob took these cell phone pics of some of the kids.

 Up at 5:30 to play Monopoly.

  I missed it because Emily and I braved the crowds for Black Friday Shopping with Jenna and Kara...not sure which is crazier!!!

 Max and Daddy took several morning hikes.

 Max slipped and rolled down the hillside and ended up in these grasses.  Bob was ready for the screams of pain but instead heard Max howling with laughter!!

 It can't be a true visit without taking out a few trees!!

More hiking!  We were happy for the mild weather!

Happy 70th Birthday, Grandma!

In the Garvin family Thanksgiving always coincides with Grandma's birthday.  This year we celebrated her 70th!

So this year we are especially thankful for all of her 70 years.
We are thankful for her good health.
We are thankful for her loving heart.
We are thankful for how she spoils all of us.
We are thankful for the endless amounts of cookies she has on hand,
 for all the food she prepares for us,
for a welcoming home she lets us stay in (and trash),
for the packages she sends,
but mostly we are thankful for her love for her Savior Jesus Christ.

We Love You, Grandma!!

Dinner out to Shakespeare's to celebrate!

I have one...

Happy Husband today!!

Christmas card pics

Each year we attempt to take our own Christmas pictures.  It often brings out the Grinch in some of us (although for those of you who know how much Bob loves Christmas, he had an awesome attitude this year!)

Here are some of what we got...

 Probably not going to use this one ;)  Jack's having a blast huh!!!

Happy Halloween!
