Thanksgiving with the Hollingsworths
November 30, 2009
It has been a huge blessing to be so close to my family over these holidays, even though we miss our church family at Bethel Grace terribly. I enjoyed being around my mom over Thanksgiving and learning the tricks of the trade (a.k.a. how to make the renowned Hollingsworth family stuffing). We were a big group and had so much fun! I am so thankful for the family God has blessed me with!
The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we went in search of a Christmas Tree. It’s the first time I’ve been to a Christmas Tree farm (that I can remember, at least). Despite the fact that we didn’t get to actually chop the tree down ourselves, we had a blast! We looked through rows and rows of trees until we found the perfect one – our little “frazier.” No, we didn’t name the tree based on the T.V. series, it actually is a type of pine with really cool needle shape and color. I think the pictures will do better at explaining what it looks like.
On Monday, I spent the morning decorating the tree to the sound of some good Christmas music. I think this is the earliest we’ve ever gotten or decorated a tree.
There will be more to come as Christmas is approaching (I’m hoping for a white one). Thank you for taking time to share in a little of the family fun from this weekend.
