Brian got voted on for "tenure"...hoorah! Too funny, to try to try to explain this to the kids...we did a surprise dinner to Bravo! for him (thanks to a gift card :) "Tenure" sounds too much like "ten year" to get too far in the conversation with the kids & Zach's response as he was bewildered why we were celebrating..."don't you think Dad has worked long enough?"
The other 2 kids get to celebrate their "coming home days"...and BJ does too...we were so happy to have him home after almost 3 months in the NICU...his pick...Panera!!!
Uncle Jay sent BJ his 1st circuit board...he LOVED it & it came pretty easy to him...extra fun to have Grandpa here to help figure it all out! :)
Zach & I got to ride the bus with our church choir to visit my sister's church. Fun to see my sisters & their families, parents, aunt & lots of familiar faces from my college years. It was a quick trip...but we did get in a trip Custard Cup...thankfully that never changes :)
Zach with his buddies on the bus!
BJ's teacher coordinated their Friendship Feast...the full Thanksgiving meal celebrating with his class...it is a special time!
We had friends over & a few International Students for a full Thanksgiving dinner here (bought a few things pre-made) The one International student was saying how much she loves to see kids "dressed up"...we have enough costumes around here to fulfill her wish!
And BJ & Brian won 3rd place in the Annual Turkey Shoot...BJ won 3 Turkey Drumsticks...perfect addition to the meal for the Internationals!We did not get in everything we had hoped to for this Thanksgiving...but we feel so very thankful!
As was said at the Thanksgiving Eve service...
Thanksgiving is really a Christian holiday...for without the Lord and what He has done for us...it is just an act of comparing ourselves with others who have less.
We are so thankful for the Lord & what He has done for us...and we our hearts go out to those who do not have as much on this earth...and it does make us THANK-FULL!!!
