A little bit late, I know, but I hope all our friends and loved ones had much to celebrate and give thanks for this past week. I've been so thankful for my beautiful, healthy family, a lovely place to live and the opportunity to see the Indian ocean from my living room all day, the perfect weather we've had for the past week, the fact that we'll be leaving in 9 short days to head back to Houston and see the rest of our families for Christmas, and that I'll get to see my sister pregnant for the first time! Just to name a few...I could go on a lot longer. God's blessings are so abundant.
Thanksgiving day was just another day here because we didn't make any dinner plans with anyone since our sitter didn't work out. That turned out to be a good thing because Matt ended up working until midnight so luckily we didn't have to cancel anything. Instead, we met up with the Perth Aggie Club (yes...Aggies are all over the world!) and had a wonderful afternoon yesterday with turkey and all the home-cooked fixins. Dressing, sweet potatoes, pecan pie...it really felt like Thanksgiving! It was a great afternoon with fellow Aggies and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I forgot to take any pictures but the kids had an absolute blast. Ben is definitely my child because he ate just a little dinner then had about 4 desserts. Wonder where he could have learned that? Alex was too busy exploring the house, stairs, koi pond, flowerbeds, and dogs to sit down and eat much but was a pretty big fan of the turkey and desserts as well. There were about a dozen other kids there but mostly older, so Matt and I were watching the parents that got to sit down and eat their entire meals uninterrupted while their kids played upstairs. One day we'll enjoy such luxuries!
