Thanksgiving Day at the Garbers'

Thanksgiving brought the scurry of family and friends and cooking. It was the kind of weather one always hopes for--mild and sunshiny. Becca's, our daughter-in-law, family joined us for the feast and brought the turkey and sweet potatoes. We missed our dear Elliott, Becca, and Lena, but one of the pictures shows us passing the laptop around for everyone to say hi to them on video chat (Well, really to try and get Lena to say our names) When evening came, our dear friends Kevin and David Offner came for dessert and the rousing end to the Redskins beating the Cowboys. We are so thankful to God for --well, pretty much everything!
