Faces to be Thankful for....

We traveled to Washington, and for the small exception of the car being broke into in Grants Pass, OR and the video camera and the Nord's shoes being stolen, it was a good trip. The shoes were recovered, which is good, cuz it was cold and the girls were wearing flip flops. We had a wonderful time with the family...the cousins even bumped up thier Christmas party so that we could be there...what a gracious thing that was to do. There are many more pics to follow...but here are the faces from my Thanksgiving...that I am giving thanks for this year...thanks cousins....we do have fun, don't we?
