Happy Thanksgiving! Counting our blessings each and everyday.

This Thanksgiving I am so, so grateful for my people.
We were able to celebrate in TC with Mom and Dad again this year and it feels like our new tradition is really going to stick! 





We love you Mom and Dad so much!
After dinner, we played lots of Scrabble and ate lots of dessert!



Mom and Dad watched the kids so we could have date night.
My 2 guys.


Covid shots, round 2, happened that Monday after Thanksgiving break.


1-2-3, they were done! Fully vaccinated and so thankful.
I'm not sure when I'll take the time to reflect on the next day, Tuesday, November 30th 2021. For now I will leave these pics as a place holder.
Staff meeting before school with Tim.



Time to get out all of the things to decorate for Christmas!
Drew LOVES dressing up as Santa. It cracks us all up. Last year he asked for a full Santa suit for Christmas. We got him a hat and beard instead but he does love to wear it!
Elle and Luke telling Santa (Drew calls himself Father Christmas) what they want for Christmas.

Going for a hike in the woods at the park.
Ben and Luke's annual basketball game! 


The Michigan football game when they wore Oxford badges, had Sheri and Buck flip the coin toss, and dedicate the game ball to Tate. The game ended with U of M scoring 42 points, Tate's football number. 
With the sadness and grief we hold the joy and love too. Even though we didn't make a day of it to a tree farm this year, we did still get our tree from Lowe's!
I love how Drew is looking straight up at the tree. It must seem so tall from his perspective! The magic of childhood 💗
Bob Thomas (our elf) has arrived!

Ellie was our only taker to go see Santa this year?! 
Drew's turn to put the angel on our tree this year!
I came home from school and found that someone had put a snow globe in front of Bob Thomas. When I inquired about it, Drew said, "Mom, so Bob Thomas has something happy to look at all day." I wish everyone had a Drew in their life to make sure they had something happy to look at each day. 
Go, be a Drew. 😊
Our Christmas cookie making...My three favorite helpers.

Ornaments on the tree! 
Now we are ready to welcome the Christmas season!
