life is good right now......


Happy Thanksgiving to you all from the Smiths. We had a wonderful day yesterday hosted by Courtney and Pat. Our kids and families, Dorian's sister, Susan and family (Richard, Susan, Chris, Derek, Rachel, Katherine, and Sarah), and two family friends, Tammi and Greg joined us. It was a day full of fun, good times together and of course GREAT food.
We are so thankful for all God has blessed us with..............mostly people who are in our lives.........YOU! We missed Kim and Heather this year, but they were with us in thought.
Hannah and I came down to the kitchen this morning......still sleepy eyed....and Hannah said "Life is good......right now....."......so content. That describes our hearts.....right now. :)

Preparations Wednesday ~ fun


Table is ready.....gorgeous

Courtney's creations.....candles in pumpkins
