Well the time finally came when we HAD to replace the Tahoe. It was a 1999-The Tahoe was bought in June 2002, one year before we were married. We took that car on our honeymoon, we brought our babies home from the hospital in that car...we had LOTS of memories made. It was a little sad to see it go.
We traded it in for a Honda Odyssey. (its a minivan) It is a 2003. The kids are super excited and we are excited that we have something that holds us all comfortably. It is NICE. It has leather interior, a DVD system and other extras. I absolutely love it. The kids really like the fact that the doors open with the push of a button.
On another note, I was right about the boys surprising me with their answers to the "what are you thankful for" question. Heston said God and Jesus (left out the Holy Spirit, but he's only 4)
Josh said family -- and that is all I could get out of him--he's in that stage where he is just too cool for stuff like that. On thanksgiving we went to mom and dads and had a simple lunch and dinner while watching football and making a game plan for Black Friday. It was a nice time. Kate had us all taking turns saying one thing we were thankful for while we ate-that too was nice.
We are all ready for our trip to Gatlinberg for Christmas this year, we just have one or two more gifts to buy and wrap. We hope to enjoy our friends, family and get some rest this holiday season. We also strive to remember the birth of our Savior and teach the kids what the real meaning of Christmas is all about. It has been a WONDERFUL 2011. We are so blessed and so thankful for what HE has done for us this year and always. Here's to expecting great things in 2012! Blessings to all!
