Thanksgiving 2008
 

Our first Thanksgiving with FIVE kids (and quads!). We spent this year at home, in Arizona.  Us travel to California with a 4.5 year old and four 8-month olds?  No way!  That's crazy!  Maybe next year????  We have much to be thankful for!  We thank God for all of his provision and his faithfulness and blessings on our family!

 
What we are thankful for...five happy and healthy kids!
Bethany, Suzan, Jared, Anna and Brielle
 
We got a somewhat white Thanksgiving, with lots of cold hail (grape sized)
 
 
 
 
 
Snow cone anyone?
