November

 Our little nutmeg turned 13 this month (pretend it is still November)  

Time is accelerating and I don't like it one bit.

How fitting that she was born around Thanksgiving because I am

so thankful for this child.

Thanksgiving was spent with the Farnsworth side this year.

There are always 100+ people there.
Many hands make light work

I always look forward to hearing the gratitude speech from my father-in-law.
He never misses an opportunity to share what he is grateful for.
I love this tradition.

This is our nephew Freddie Ashby and his beautiful family with Mama and Papa.  

Freddie is currently climbing the charts on Itunes with a

Christmas album "Brighter Days Ahead."

  

My two "Celiacs."

They are pros at eating gluten-free...going on 4 years now.

After feasting, we played.

Sharanette was over the main group activity. 

 She organized a huge corn hole tournament. 

So much fun for such a large group.

We, Farnsworths, like our competitive tournaments...

... and the little ones get a little frustrated when they can't participate.

I am grateful for family.
