Thanksgiving

This year we were fortunate enough to have the whole week home in Seattle for Thanksgiving. Matt used some of his vacation time and we made it over the pass just in time, before all of the winter storms hit. While we were in Seattle it snowed several inches, a very unusual occurence! Of course after the first half inch the city turned into a chaotic mess and all of the schools were cancelled. We had a very relaxing week and stayed home most of the time. Thanksgiving was spent at home with my (Ellie's) family and grandparents. Unfortunately Jake and Lindsey weren't able to make it up from San Diego though.

On Black Friday I got up at 2:30 am (I know it's crazy!) and met up with Jennie, one of my best friends to hit some sales. We found some awesome deals so it was worth it! Plus it's kind of a tradition. I also was able to see my other best friend Brittany's brand new baby girl Tessa! When we returned to Spokane after the week was over there was about a foot and a half of snow! Here are some pictures from the week home.









"This is what God the Lord says - he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. Isaiah 42:5-7
