So appreciative for rebekah and her project of 10 on 10. a great reminder to soak in the day and see beauty in the ordinary. a morning run, a Christmas tea, sisterly fun, and a dip in the pool,- this is a little glimpse into our SoCal December.

Wow… Is it really December already? The Holiday festivities are in full swing. We’ve enjoyed a tree lighting, christmas parade and a christmas concert. But mostly we’ve enjoyed the sunny outdoors, special time with visitors, our christmas decorations, designing some “interesting”outfits, the horse ranch up the road and Meadow’s favorite game of picnic.
We enjoyed an awesome Thanksgiving with great friends and our awesome family.
The night before thanksgiving, the girls and I realized, we would need a turkey for our dinner. We set up a little trap, in hopes of catching our bird. Emmie helped decorate the box, drawing a few turkey’s to lure him in. We were not sure if he preferred sweet or savory corn, so we left both.
In the morning we awoke to find, he had escaped our trap, but left us a little turkey poop behind as a treat 
One of my favorite traditions of thanksgiving, is the Turkey Trot. In the past few years, we have not participated, as they aren’t conveniently located to us. I thought, why not make one of our own. So the “Family Fun Turkey Trot ” was born. I was pleasantly surprised, when several families came down to the park to join us. The kids did awesome!! It was a really fun start to our day.
We headed over to friends for the big meal. I neglected to get a shot of all the food, but it was delicious! There were beautiful centerpieces, lots of books read, games played and scooters ridden.
Some great dessert finished of the evening and was topped off with some homeade ice cream, and hand whipped, whipped cream. yum!
We have so much to be thankful for! Mostly I’m thankful for our great God who loves us, lavishes us with blessing upon blessing and sent his son.
