So Thankful!

We have so much to be thankful for in the Rankin Household!  

The boys had a week off from school and we enjoyed every minute of it!  
This year we made the turkey!  Dan found a good recipe and took care of preparing it and cooking it!  He also made the giblet  gravy!  He is such a helpmate and I am thankful for him!!! ♥
 This is Mylee, our new great niece!  She was born on Sept. 1st and she slept so sweetly through our dinner!   Her momma was thankful for those quiet moments to eat in peace!  ♥
 Tia hosted this years Thanksgiving dinner at her beautiful home!  Thank you Tia! ♥
 I got a lot of "loving on Mylee" time!
 Dan's Aunt Ellen and Uncle Forrest came to visit.  Ellen just had a HEART TRANSPLANT (4 months ago) so she wears a mask to keep germs away since she is on a lot of immune suppressing medicine right now.  We are sooooo thankful the Lord has taken care of Ellen by providing her a heart VERY quickly and for a fast recovery.
 Dan helped Ryon pick up a pile of cards! ♥
 We are thankful for a BIG chair that we could all relax on and watch the Cowboys play!
 We are thankful for relaxing days with family playing Mexican Train!  (which Zach won!)  Yay Zach!
 Dan even got some Mylee time!  ♥
 We also had time to build forts in the living room, have sleep overs,
 put up and decorate our Christmas tree
 and keep warm by the fire on a very cold, windy, dusty day.
 As you can tell, we do have a LOT to be thankful for around the Rankin House!
