Thanksgiving, Clemson/Carolina game, xmas tree...

Well, Thanksgiving Day started out with Luke and Hap going out to Hap's Dad's so that Luke could ride a horse. He was beyond excited, but I was concerned that once he got there he might be a little afraid, but as you can see, I couldn't have been more wrong. He was so at ease around the horses, it's like an instinct. Of course, I must give credit where credit is due. Kyote is the most gentle horse you will ever come across, in fact, she's the only one that I will ride. She is 26 years old and has been with Happy since she was just a baby and Hap can remember riding her when he was just a little boy.

When they got home from Wadmalaw we headed over to Penny and Craig's house to spend the afternoon. It was a very relaxing day filled with wonderful family and great food! Craig said the nicest and most poignant blessing that reminded us all that although this year has been extremely tough, we still have so much to be thankful for. God gives us all the ability to cope in times like this and to get up every day and enjoy our loved ones as each day is so precious. The day was certainly not the same without little Craig and he was missed dearly.
