 Thanksgiving:

We were so thankful that everyone was healthy and able to come to the Acre to join together in giving thanks for all God has so richly blessed us with.  Thanksgiving also means school parties and lunches, as well as coming home to Tom Turkey.

And true to tradition, our Christmas activities began the day after Thanksgiving.  But for tonight, let's just savor our precious fall memories just a little longer.

Good night, my little Monkeys!
