First Thanksgiving

Faith's First Thanksgiving was a special day. I have much to be thankful for. I'm so thankful for my salvation through Jesus Christ, my family, my health, and my home, just to name a few. There are so many things for me to be thankful for that I have started a list to remind me of God's blessings in my life. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Surprise!

We had quite the surprise on Thanksgiving morning. There was a quick knock on the door and then in walked Hannah. We thought she was having Thanksgiving with a friend from school. It turns out that Hannah and four friends drove up to surprise their families. We were very happily surprised.

We had a fun weekend celebrating Thanksgiving, shopping, hanging out with family,taking a quick trip to Starbucks and getting dinner at Rico's Tacos. It's a local food cart that makes some good mexican food.

We took a minute to remember where we were on 11/11/11. We were at the Neskowin Market. It was fun to be with family for such a cool moment in time.

The Oregon Coast Aquarium

On day four of our trip Mom and Dad took everyone to the Aquarium. The kids had fun and so did the adults.

Then we had lunch at a local diner.

The Big Trip

The kids and I traveled to Neskowin for my parents fiftieth wedding anniversery. We stayed in a great beach house right on the beach. The view was wonderful. The first night we had a spaghetti dinner and the kids played games.

The second day I walked down to a local coffee shop (grandma's house) and had coffee with everyone. Then we had brunch at Brian, Tammi, and Tim's house. Uncle Brian made omelets for everyone. Then it was time for a scavenger hunt, Uncle Tim style.

Team Grandpa

Team Grandma

They were given about an hour and a half to find specific things and complete certain activities. Big Josh called it Scavenger Hunt-Cutthroat style. The prize for first place was first choice of two jars. One full of five dollar bills and the other full of one dollar bills and candy.

Team Grandpa won and they choose the jar of fives and candy. Then we went and played on the beach.

Then it was time to get ready for the big dinner.

We went into Lincoln City to celebrate.

We all had a very nice time. Fifty years is quite an accomplishment. The third day we just hung around.
