Happy Thanksgiving!

Each year, my family rents a cabin in the mountains to celebrate Thanksgiving as a family. This year was our 38th (some say 40) year together as a family! We rented a house up in Big Bear right on the lake. There were about 25 of us this year. Besides some appliance problems, the house was perfect, with an absolutely amazing view of the lake. We had a great weekend catching up, playing games, going on walks, and eating... and eating... and eating! We also got to head over to Jon's parents house to spend some time visiting with his parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle, and sister and husband. It was a very cold weekend in the mountains, just like Thanksgiving is meant to be!

I am so thankful for everything God has given us in our lives. We are so grateful for the wonderful family and friends that we have!


Here's a picture of a group of us out on a walk by the lake.

A Night Out with Emma

On Saturday night, a group of us went out for a fun night with friends. Drew's cousin Emma is visiting from Scotland, so we wanted to take her out for some Orange County fun. It was a great night, Emma is a lot of fun to chat with. And the best part is we've been invited to stay with her in Scotland when we go!


Good times!
