Giving Thanks!


We traveled to Durham, NC for Thanksgiving with the Nolen family.
Joshua and Anna Ruth could have been awarded "Road Warrior" badges for how well they did in the car.  We enjoyed listening to the Chronicles of Narnia on cd and looking at the skyscrapers in the large cities we drove through.


Anna Ruth just wanted some peace and quiet during nap time.


Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Michele were gracious to host everyone for Thanksgiving.
A box of Star Wars toys in what became "The Star Wars Room" was a highlight for Joshua.  He loved getting to play Star Wars with various family members and friends of Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Michele. 


Anna Ruth was impressed with Uncle Jonathan's guitar playing skills.


But in the end, Aunt Michele may have won Anna Ruth's heart by taking her upstairs every hour or two to look at the cats hiding under the bed.



Grateful for time with family that live far away!



Uncle Jonathan made us a yummy Thanksgiving meal.  Not the least of which was this turkey that weighed only 1 pound less than Anna Ruth!


Before we left for North Carolina, Joshua worked hard to make everyone a place mat.  He was so proud to have them used for the Thanksgiving meal.


Anna Ruth provided the after dinner entertainment as she danced her heart out.

We had a great trip and loved getting to spend time with our family.  Joshua hopes we can go back for Christmas because, "Uncle Jonathan said I could come back anytime!"
