Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is such a great holiday! We had the wonderful opportunity to go visit with grandpa & grandma Chem, Jeff's grandparents, who live in Windsor,  AKA: "Wine Country". Jeff took a little drive up the road from their house where you can see the beautiful vineyards that are everywhere up there. So pretty! 
At the first of November Trey and I created a tree trunk and then each night at dinner we took a little time to write down what we are thankful for on different leaves. This is only a small portion of the many things we have to be thankful for, we are truly blessed. Trey gave thanks to, apples, heads, Thomas, Shrek, eggs, Jesus and Heavenly Father. Kaden gave thanks to, crackers & 'DO-DAH'.

One thing Trey & Kaden love about grandpa & grandma Chems is playing with the rocks and water in the back yard, even in the cold. It reminded Jeff of the good old days when he and his brother Jason would go out and paint the wooden fence with water.

It is so beautiful up there! And all that space for your boys to run around, it sounds wonderful! I'm glad you guys had a great Thanksgiving! Now, onto Christmas... are you as worn out as I am just thinking about it? ;)

Ahh...the good ol' days of "painting the fence". Either that or playing hockey with buttons and boomarangs! Wish we could have been there. Hope Trey and Kaden enjoy their Chirstmas present from us that Mom is bringing out. Much Love.

That is a beautiful area! I just love Kadens hair. I think I would cry when the day came to cut it. Your tree idea was very creative! Once again, you are the most creative person I know!
