Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a fabulous thanksgiving and that no one got too crazy shopping today, on black friday! I absolutely love this time of year. It's especially fun to reflect back on the past year and thank God for everything that he's blessed us with. Thanksgiving day was very low key for us this year which was just wonderful. Our day consisted of a morning visit to meijer to get a few things and then we headed over to my parents house for the afternoon to eat, veg, and check out the ads! After that we went over to Mom and Dad Hunderman's house for the rest of the day to visit with them. Just a nice day of relaxation and yummy food!

I am so thankful for so many things this thanksgiving. God, Family, Friends, a wonderful hubby, a beautiful baby, food, a warm house, jobs, good health, and fun times. Thats just the beginning, there is just so much that we take forgranted that thanksgiving is just a nice time to realize how much we are blessed.

This afternoon in the midst of shopping and all the madness we had an amazing experience. My cousin Ellen and her mom chose a child through World Vision to sponsor. She was looking through the kids and noticed ONE child from Guatemala that was in the sponsor list. She had been to Guatemala just this past summer and knew how bad these kids have it, she could feel for this child because she saw his culture and his surroundings in person. She said the moment she saw this child and saw that he was the only one from Guatemala, she had chills down her spine. She knew that it was meant to be that they sponsor that child, so thats just what they did. Next summer she's returning to Guatemala and it would be SO special if she could meet her child. How special to witness God's presence in this situation. It was just amazing to see how excited she was to help!

Well we're all caught up now, but I have to share a few pics of Caden before I go!
