This year, Andy decided it was high time we start a new Thanksgiving tradition. On Thanksgiving morning, before heading to Papa and Granny's house for a feast, we loaded up the kids and headed to a nearby mountain to go trail walking. While hiking, we talked about the many things are are thankful for -- our many blessings given by God. It was a hit with the whole family! We'll definitely be keeping up this tradition.
This was an exciting *first* for Jasmin, who had never been hiking. Jasmin is 10.5 years old, and she is living with our family for a while. She and Nichole call each other sister-cousins.
Some people seem to think we have a lot of kids. We like to think this is normal. (It is, right?)
Okay, so maybe five is more than some people have. But we still get to walk alone and hold hands for a few minutes here and there. So it works.
Today, we were very thankful to live in Phoenix. The weather is amazing right now!

What a great tradition! And a fabulous family - we think you guys are about the best of the best :)
SO SMART! If we lived somewhere more temperate (or maybe when we adjust to the temperature) I hope we do something like this. And it's so nice to 'meet' you Jasmin!! Great photo of the two of them.
