Thanksgiving

Spent Thanksgiving weekend this year with Mark's family up in Denver. It was nice to get away for a few days and relax up at their house. They are always so generous and hospitable and Asher, of course, has a great time being with them!

Asher on the drive up to Denver....this was what he did when i asked him to smile. Ha! At least he did what i asked. :)
The whole fam
We spent the actual Thanksgiving meal time at Mike and Jackie Eubank's home - they are long-time family friends of the Finzels and more like extended family than friends. Asher loved playing with this football at their house -
He also fell in love with their new little puppy, Bentley. He was a little, tiny Cocker Spaniel and was SO cute! Almost made me want a dog for a second...but just a second.
The only decent family picture we got - boo that it's blurry though. oh well.
Asher always had one of our cell phones he was carrying around with him - I'm pretty sure he's convinced they're HIS cell phones and we just use them from time to time.
Oh boy.
Back at Grandpa and Grandma's house, Asher had lots of fun....
playing the piano with Uncle Andrew and Daddy,
lounging on the couch,
making waffles with Grandpa (notice the egg he dropped on the floor),
and working in the shop with Grandpa!
Such a fun weekend with family. We are blessed beyond measure and our hearts overflow with thanks at God's goodness and faithfulness in our lives! He truly is the giver of all good gifts.
