2007 Thanksgiving

We spent thanksgiving in the mountains this year.  It such a great way to kick off the Christmas Season.  Every year I vow to be ready for Christmas by the time we give thanks and this year was no exception.  Every year I think I'm ready and then find out I'm not...  This year we tried to keep it simple, I feel like we send such mixed messages to the kids by saying remember it's all about Christ all the while getting so busy with the "season" that it can make it hard to remember Christ at all.  We are trying to find the balance between the magic of Christmas and childhood and the true meaning of Christ's birth.
