We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here in beautiful, sunny San Diego... my sister & her hubby came down from L.A., and we had a big family Thanksgiving over at my aunt and uncle's house (thanks, guys- everything was wonderful!). It was a bit of a smaller group this time- only about 20 people (we have a pretty big extended family, so we're used to having tons of people gather for the holidays!). We had so much fun relaxing, talking, playing ping-pong, and, of course, eating. Here are a few photos from the day...
Oh it looks like you had so much fun! I cannot wait to beat all of them at ping pong and pie eating contests one day! Which Morris girl is that...Hannah right? They are getting so old! Seems like just yesterday we were sitting at their house on Carpenter Way! Love you cuz!
hey cait! yep, that's hannah. she and em are so cure. and oh my gosh, those kids have all grown up SO much... especially the boys! caleb is taller than me now, and josh is right behind him... it's crazy! :) I love you too, cousin! Can't wait to come visit you in Zambia!!!
I just wanted to share a quote I read recently from the book "Do You Think I'm Beautiful" by Angela Thomas. This book really struck a chord with my heart, and I wanted to share a portion of it here:
"Our thinking has been shaped by junior high taunting, unflattering words from people we love, magazines in waiting rooms, cosmetic counters at the mall, the big screen and the little screen and now the computer screen- all teaching us how to think as the world thinks. I mean, how can we not buy in? After twenty or thirty or forty years of watching and reading and listening, we’ve really believed this stuff. Essentially, we’ve been brainwashed. Wrinkles should be injected. Breasts should be augmented. Muscles should be ripped. ... For heaven’s sake, where is it written? Where is it written that what the world calls beautiful is correct?”
Every woman's heart whispers this question: "do you think I'm beautiful?" And the answer is a resounding YES! Yes, you are beautiful- just as you are! Just a little something to think about. Check out the following videos from Dove...
