My precious blessings and memories that I never want to forget!: Thanksgiving in Arkansas

Wow! We had a great time visiting family in Arkansas! We left Tuesday and arrived in Searcy around 11:30 pm at Tim and Brittney's home(Tracy's brother and his wife) . We had so much fun visiting with them and playing with cousins (Maribeth-7 and Mallory -4) We also got the pleasure to play with 9 mo Haiden Tim and B's faster baby! He is so precious!!! Nicholas got the honor of helping Daddy and Uncle Tim put electrical wires into the ground and doing odds and ends to work on Tim's new shop. We all left Thursday to go to Two Moons ( a beautiful lodge) where all the family met for an amazing Thanksgiving dinner that everyone contributes. This Thanksgiving traditional weekend was started by Grandmom (Tracy's mom's mom) She always got her 4 kids together every year in Arkansas(mid point) now it has grown into 27 people and a blast. All the cousins have so much fun together. Friday night we had our annual talent show and wow was that entertaining! We have some extremely talented family members! :0) Saturday we celebrate Christmas -adults draw names and the kids get wonderful gifts from all. That afternoon we went on a hayride and fed some beautiful horses one weighed 1,800 pounds!! We ended the night by watching a great firework show put on by the cousins. Sunday was time to hit the road back home after eating some amazing food!!!!! Did I mention there was a snack table that was open all the time with over 10 pies, 5 or so different cookies, popcorn, trailmix, candy, baklava and much more UGH!!! Back to the YMCA for me! Well all said and done I had a blessed weekend with amazing people that all praise our wonderful Lord for all HE does for us! One of the aunts made such an amazing point - we are sooooo blessed to be able to be part of such a close nit Christian family that love each other and the Lord so much!
