vera bradley's "saddle up"

my new bag: vera bradley's "saddle up."

this picture looks a bit orangey, therefore i'm not proud to brag here. but really, it's more of a raspberry color, like its color name "raspberry fizz."

the following picture of the duffle bag shows a better "true-to-life" color scheme. but this link (a larger picture of the same duffle) shows more detail. thank God for high resolution pics.

thanksgiving in LA

spent thanksgiving in LA.

for the first time, we were able to wear short-sleeves & shorts on thanksgiving, open a large sliding door for some breeze, and even turn on the AC for a little while.

we brought food, serving platters, and bakeware to my cousin's to cook.

here's our turkey.

thankful for good weather.

thankful for abundant amount of good food our Father provides.

thankful for one another.

i am especially thankful for happy and healthy kids.
