Thanksgiving was a great day with family and friends. Kevan's mom, Anna, came into town and we all enjoyed spending some quality time with her (especially her spoiled grandson!). Ezekiel even learned to say "Nana" while she was here, which was so darn cute. He kept saying her name over and over. One of Kevan's buddies from work joined us, too. We always love that. Seems like every Thanksgiving we have someone new brave enough to be part of the family for the day - and it always makes the day more special. We continued the Holbrook family tradition and logged what each of us our thankful for in our "Thankfulness journal". Such a neat thing to look back on over the years!
BUT, I have to confess, there was a big hole in my heart on Thanksgiving as we missed Matthew's family, Andrew's family, and Rebekah this year. They were spread all over the globe, and it was hard not to share the day with them. CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS all the more... only 22 days until Rebekah comes home!!!
I especially missed Beckah as I attempted to take pictures - she always takes the best family pictures. So, here are a few measily attempts to capture the day! (We took like 87 pics of our little family of 3... and the one above is as good as it gets!) =)

Lots of story time with Grandma and Papa Mark

A Thankfullness journal...what a great idea. I just might have to think about starting that tradition! I've already stolen your b-day question tradition and use with my family all the time!!
We are so sorry that we missed celebrating Thanksgiving with all of you :( We had a fun (but cold) time in Michigan... but wished that we can all do it all altogether! Thanks for accepting addendums to the Thankgiving journal :)
