was gourds! We found out that green gourds are pretty juicy! Click on that picture for a closer look! Nasty.
Other than that, we had a wonderful holiday, filled with all the things we love:
9 a.m. Turkey Trot - The green team!
Lori always surprises us with a different cheesecake to add to the Thanksgiving meal! Chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake is pretty fantastic.
4 different tables of chaos, I mean games, going on at once! We are especially blessed to have my father-in-law still with us this holiday, after a rough year of cancer treatment.
Annual Cousin Pumpkin Bash - wow, are they growing up! (see previous posts under Thanksgiving if you're wondering what a pumpkin bash is)

Well it's hard for me to pick one favorite thing about this special time with the family but I have to say what means the most to me is the Wednesday night All Church Singing time. Not only do we sing for an entire hour, but each song is led and chosen by a different song leader. Young and old, big and small, and I think if I counted right, 13 of the song leaders were from our family. It's hard to not watch them the entire song, but I'm getting better at worshipping during this time. Love watching these young men growing up getting involved in worship! Yes, we are truly blessed.
