Thanksgiving with Aunt Joyce in Colorado!

Charles and Belinda traveled to Loveland, Colorado, yesterday to spend Thanksgiving with Charles' Aunt Joyce.

She invited us into her home for a relaxing holiday, complete with great hospitality and delicious food!
Aunt Joyce fed us Wednesday night supper, Thursday morning breakfast and and Thanksgiving lunch. She is an amazing cook and a delightful hostess! AND Aunt Joyce even made us special holiday cookies that we could find by dipping into her lovely Christmas angel cookie jar!

We returned home tonight with great memories and some great leftovers!

Praise be to God for loving and generous Aunt Joyce who invited us into her home and treated us to a very special Thanksgiving holiday celebration!!!
