We enjoyed a hometown Thanksgiving in Newton. It started off with the politically incorrect Thanksgiving Feast at Ben's preschool. The kids sang, "The Indians are coming, they don't make a sound. Shh. Shh." Ben loved his feather headband so much he wore it all day.
Thanksgiving day was spent out "on the farm" with our dear friends the Clarks. Ben helped feed Blackjack (the horse) apples, we took a hayride (which Clara loved), the boys helped with a bonfire and we all left full, tired and happy. Ben didn't get enough, so on Friday Leah and Ben took a special trip back out to feed Blackjack carrots and throw rocks in the pond. We are lucky to have friends that feel like family, our southern family.
It has been great to have a nice long weekend together. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for all the moments we are blessed to share with those we love. This year, more than ever, we don't take any of it for granted. Happy Thanksgiving with love from Mark, Leah, Ben and Clara.
