At clean up time, Elijah jumped in to help. After not eating at the meal, he decided to try the mashed potato serving spoon and found it to his liking.
On top of good food, we are all thankful for the love of family.
My clan went Black Friday shopping at 3:00; then we are heading for breakfast at Aunt Deb's house. She may be regretting hosting a Black Friday breakfast about now since she got up at 2:00 a.m. to stand in line at Best Buy for a new lap-top!
Hi, Jenny!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through a comment you left on another one (maybe on A Baker's Dozen?). When I saw that you live in Virginia, I just had to read your blog...so I just finished reading through all your archives, and I enjoyed it very much. :)
I'm wondering where in Virginia you live, although maybe you don't like to reveal that. I live in the Shenandoah Valley, and we have Old Order Mennonite neighbors, but no Amish around here (so I'm wondering where you live that is close to Amish because I didn't know there were Amish in this wonderful state). :)
Anyway, I'm inspired by your large family and your faith in following God's leading. Thanks for sharing the story of your special family!
