A New Chapter

 I am becoming worse and worse at taking pictures at these family things... not quite sure why, just don't think of it anymore... until after the fact! So this is our family... was a wonderful thanksgiving - one to remember all the Lord's faithfulness over the past year and to remember all that He has done for us! Jenelle, Chris, and Aaron were all gone for thanksgiving this year and dearly missed. We did our thanksgiving dinner on Sunday as usual - so after church we came home, had some snacks, while we waited for everything to heat up! Nice relaxing time, chatting and sharing together!

This song was played as dad gave Jenelle to Chris - "Take This Moment" was definitely a highlight of the ceremony! Some of the dessert for the wedding - the requested "Pumpkin Crunch Cheesecake" Doing a trial make-up... yes outside, and of course the day before the wedding!!
