Charlie Brown Thanksgiving prayer

Preparation

It is currently 72 degrees F. It doesn't really FEEL like Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas is just a little over a month away.

Here in the Rio Grande Valley we don't get snow or even really a drizzle so have be more intentional about getting into the Holiday spirit. This is a really fun time of the year so we are going to do what it takes to make it special.

We printed out this great Thanksgiving Countdown Calendar from Family Fun.

We going to watch Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving.

We have started by listening to Christmas music on Pandora, while we are doing our school work.

We are going to get out the crafty things to make our personal gifts.

We are going to get ready for our favorite holiday sweets: orange balls, peanut butter balls, chocolate covered pretzels, etc. YUMMY!

Hope yall are having fun planning and just being together making memories!

The Great Outdoors and Great Memories

In September, we were able to pick up the pop-up camper that our dear friends, the Clows, passed on to us! It was so much fun getting to visit with John's family and then take off down the road to Lake Somerville where we were able to spend a few days in the great outdoors. So many great memories were made...

...the raccoon that wanted to clean up any chips or cookie remnants while we were enjoying the campfire;

...the armadillo that decided to accompany Sc. on his way back from the bath house;
