If you are like me you are now constantly adding to or crossing off your christmas lists. I don't know about you, but my list of "needs" vs "wants" gets even more blurry this time of year.
Well...
"Statistics show that Americans spend 450 billion dollars on Christmas every year. Experts estimate it would cost 10 billion dollars to give the whole world clean water. This has become a national campaign to see if we can change these statistics. To swing the pendulum from consumerism to compassion. To see what happens when we come together and buy Water for Christmas."
If you still haven't clicked on the Water for Christmas logo to your right, please do so. Or check out these cute shirts, my friend Courtney is making, that you can give as gifts and 100% of the proceeds goes to this charity.

Last but not Least
The tail end of our 9 day trip was spent at my parent's house. We had a late Thanksgiving (non-turkey) celebration with my parents, grandparents and sister and brother-in law and their dog.
I didn't get a good shot of Mason with Yeager but here he is pretending to be a dog. He and Yeager had a great time following each other around. Mason even got on his hands and knees a lot. I think this is amazing because Yeager already towers over Mason when he is standing. Owen on the other hand, spent most of the day on the couch out of reach from Yeager.

We had a wonderful trip, but we are so glad to be home! Now it is December. Yikes!

Visit with Mim
The second half of our trip was spent with EJ's mom (Mim). We had a wonderful time but it went by a little too fast. Thankfully we'll see her again around Christmas.
More baking and eating!
Mason loved watching the Macy's Day Parade. (I didn't let him stand that way the whole time)
EJ's highlight on Thanksgiving Day is to play flag football with his best High School buddies.
We enjoyed a yummy Thanksgiving dinner with EJ's grandparents and Mom. The rabbit was a visiting guest and kept the boys entertained most of the night.

Happy Thanksgiving!
To all of our loved ones that we can not be with today, We love you! We are so thankful for each of you. I pray that the Lord will open your eyes and hearts to see all His rich and merciful blessings.
