Thanksgiving 2015

Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 5:20)

One of our most favorite family traditions is traveling to Michigan for Thanksgiving weekend. This year, Molly begged to join the fun.
