This Thanksgiving was a fun one. My brother Matt and Reese's brother Jordan came to visit. Lane was really excited to have his uncles come to visit and Estelle loved all the entertainment she had.
The moose mugs that Reese's mom sent for his birthday (think Christmas Vacation, cousin Eddie)
My picky little eater. Notice the turkey, stuffing, jello salad and roll. That's it. We had so many other yummy things to eat too. But he did enjoy his turkey leg!
My even pickier eater! I am not sure what is going on with Estelle but she doesn't like much. I have been trying to get her to eat all table food but she will not eat any meat. I have tried a lot of different things too. She did eat a little turkey and wild rice soup I made with leftover turkey though. So for now she eats eggs pretty much everyday for protein. 
We took the guys out to Point Loma, this is Matt looking out over Mexico. Reese, Lane and Matt got to go golfing one day and Reese and Jordan went out to the sky diving school that Reese went to and Jordan sky dived!

The guys even got to take part in our Christmas decorating!
This year I am very thankful for all I have been blessed with. When I asked Lane what he was thankful for he said his home. Lane is pretty aware of people that don't have homes (he sees lots of homeless people around here). And I thought that really summed it up. I am thankful for my home, not just my house but for my home. My home has love in it, it has Jesus in it, and it has my very favorite people in it. Another reason I am thankful for my home right now is that I have memories of Case in this home. But the thing I am most thankful for is my home waiting for me in heaven. I am reminded to set my sights on eternal things, not just things in the world but things that last, the truly important things.

I love this post. Oh that is cool that your kids and you and Reese got time with Jordan and Matt. Estelle's expressions are fantastic!! Your words are so wise. We need to look toward heaven. And we have so much to be thankful for here... but so much more awaits us!
Love to you!
I'm thankful for you too! Great post about family, gratitude and love. You always look at the bigger picture which is very hard for me to do. I'm glad you enjoyed the time with the kids Uncle's too - Uncle's are the best!
