Post Thanksgiving - Farewell November

I didn't get a chance to write a post Thanksgiving Day, Friday or yesterday, but I hope you had a  holiday filled with gratitude - and lots of good food.  We celebrated the first Sunday of Advent today [Hope] and tomorrow is December 1st with the Christmas Season rapidly approaching. 

It was a small group around the Thanksgiving table this year... Lori & Dave were in California, Brianna was in Oregon visiting a friend, and Sharon's mom is in rehab following surgery from a broken hip, so her dad spent the day sitting with her.  

Sharon had a cute Gingerbread theme going on throughout her house.

Her house was decorated so festively for the holidays with two Christmas trees, and I don't even have one up yet.

Jeremy and his family came over later in the afternoon after spending some time with Samantha's family.

It snowed for a little while [but no significant accumulation]. I took a picture of it coming down looking out from the doorwall.

Izzy had to work at Ford Field yesterday for the Michiga State vs. Maryland game.

Today was the last day for ladies to sign up for the Christmas Tea at church next Saturday, December 6th.  89 ladies will be attending.  I'll be sure to post pictures of the different hostess tables.  Have a good week as we welcome December!
