A Stroud Thanksgiving - 2007

The Jones, Quandel, Stanfill, Gilbert, and Findley families enjoyed a turkey dinner and family time in Stroud this year, as we've done in the past. Catching up with everyone and stuffing our faces with homemade food always makes for a good day! Thanks to Erin (and helpers) for putting it together and setting up a homey environment. The kazoos were a hit. Peyton likes to sing words into it, and Lainey is still chewing on hers.

We all have a lot to be thankful for this year. In our family specifically, we are thankful that Jill's treatment and surgery are finished and the road to complete recovery has begun. Also, I myself am particularly thankful for God's presence in our lives and the guidance He has given us in '07. I can already see that my New Years' resolution will be to give more thanks and gratitude to Him by action - not just prayer.

Here are a few pics of Thanksgiving in Stroud. Was great to see everyone! If anyone else has pics, we'd love to see 'em.

Love,

Amber

P.S. We sure did miss Kris. Da** deer hunting... }:o(
