Snow for Thanksgiving

Well, we are still waiting to get travel approval to go to China.  Until we have that, we won't know when we are going to get Marisa.  We're doing our best to get ready to go at a moment's notice.

While we wait, we're keeping busy.  Thanksgiving was so wonderful this year.  We had twelve people at our house to join in the celebration, most of them stayed for several days.  Everyone pitched in to make a delicious Thanksgiving dinner; there was plenty to eat.  We're still eating turkey and ham!  Also, we got our first snow of the year, enough to go sledding.  Kieran loved it!  We managed to squeeze in some shopping too, and now Marisa's got a bunch of cute and cozy clothes for winter.  We have been very blessed this year.

Here are some pictures of what we've been up to lately...

First snow of the year!  We took turns pulling Kieran around the back yard.
He tried pulling us too; what a sweet kid!

The next morning, we had a ton of new snow and sunshine!  Doesn't Kieran look cool?

Mommy & Kieran went sledding on a big hill while Daddy shoveled the driveway.
Just as we were getting cold, Dad arrived with a thermos of hot chocolate!  What a guy!

Later that day, family arrived to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving morning, Auntie Kendra took Kieran sledding again!
Kieran loved having a house full of company.

The whole gang was here to celebrate Thanksgiving.  I love my family!
Our aunt, cousin, and second cousin were also here but missed the photo shoot.

Grandma & Grandpa with their grand babies.
Next Thanksgiving they'll have Marisa to hold too!

Our tree is up and we finished decorating it tonight.
Seems like we were just celebrating Kieran's first Christmas.  Time is flying by!

Thanks for dropping by.  When we get information about our travel dates for China, I'll share the news here on Far Green Country.  Meanwhile, I'll be posting something Christmas related every day December 1 through 12th on my Mom Thoughts blog so go check it out.
