A Schoeb Thanksgiving

We started spending Thanksgiving with the Schoeberlein's our second year in Michigan. The first year we were here we traveled to Plimoth Plantation and had Thanksgiving where the Pilgrims actually experienced it 400 years ago. The next year, we had met a great family that invited us to Thanksgiving with them and we've done it every since.

Our Thanksgivings have changed some as other families have moved away that we shared that first Thanksgiving with. It was that first Thanksgiving at the Schoebs that Misty Wagner told me about a little school called CSA and it was only 4 months later that my kids were enrolled in that very school. Something we thought we would never do as a family but something I would receive such a blessing from.

We've learned games like Killer Bunnies and Nertz from these Thanksgivings and played more competitive versions of Wii games than I could ever imagine at the Schoebs.

The next few years brought Zac and Libby and I had my first ever Thanksgiving prepared by a professional chef. AMAZING!!!

But the last two years it has just been my Howell family of the Schoeberlein's and Jayson's mom and brother who I am also blessed to call family. I don't know what I would do with out all of them and I will always think of them at Thanksgiving and every other day of the year, and be thankful.

Here are some pics from our fun Schoeb Thanksgiving 2008.
