Project 365-Week 48

What a whirlwind week! So many things to be thankful for and pictures to prove it!

Sunday

Why is this picture special?



I took this when we left church Sunday. It was the first time I had been to church in over a month and it did my heart good! Hooray for being with my family and being able to worship with my church family too.

Monday

Any idea where we are?



The 3 younger kids had a dentist appointment today. We have the greatest dentist and the kids love going.

After the dentist, Kyla had Thanksgiving feast at pre-school. Kevin took her and this is what she looked like when she came home...



A very cute Indian!

Tuesday

I was off work today, so ran last minute errands in preparation for Thanksgiving. While Kyla and I were out we saw a huge swarm of birds. (or would that be a flock?) I wish I could have gotten a picture of all of them in air at the same time. It was amazing, in an Alfred Hitchcock kind of way.



Wednesday

Today before I went to work the girls helped me get something ready for Thanksgiving.



We wrapped and tied all of the silverware for Thanksgiving. So thankful for my willing helpers. Then it was off to work until 11:45.

Thursday

Happy Thanksgiving! We hosted 50 people at our house today. (44 to eat and 6 that stopped in to visit) Kevin's mom and I share the hot food cooking, everyone else brings sides and desserts. Everything went very well and it was a blessing to have so many together.

And I think you might recognize this group.
Now that was a lot of people!! Don't worry, no quiz.

Friday

Had to be to work at 4:00am. Can I just say that is early! I worked until 4:30 pm and was totally pooped. Came home, ate dinner and then on to an important tradition at the Yoder house. Decorating the tree!
Every year the kids get a new ornament of their choice. They always love getting them all out and seeing them from the past years.



Here they are decorating. They did a great job with just a little help for the highest places!

Saturday

Back to work this morning. After I had been home and dinner and baths were done I asked the girls if they wanted to do something. Here's what we did.



And then they did this....



And when it was all said and done, we had this....



Breakfast tomorrow should be very yummy!

Thanks for sticking with the longest post ever! I hope you had a blessed week and were able to celebrate with some (or many) of your loved ones too!! Have a great week!
