Friendsgiving

When we found we were moving to California we started praying God would provide us with new friends. We felt Friendsgiving was a culmination of that prayer request being answered...

Background Once moving up here we quickly found a church that had a Sunday school class. The first Sunday we attended that Sunday school class we went out to lunch with everyone afterwards. Mitchell started talking with a guy, Michael about shooting guns and they decided to go shooting that afternoon. I went over to their house and hung out with his wife, Allyson for a few hours. Allyson and I were instant friends and she has been such a blessing to me out here. The four of us got along so well that we would hang out every once in awhile.

The Lynns have an almost 2 year old son, Colton and another couple in our Sunday school class have a one and a half year old son named Colton also. One random weekend, the Lynns invited the Nickols over for dinner so the boys could play together and invited us as well. I don't remember when that was or what exactly we did that night but we had so much fun together. And thus our friendship was born! We have celebrated birthdays, seasons, weekends together and now holidays.

Friendsgiving The Nickols had the great idea of having a "Friendsgiving" this weekend before Thanksgiving. We went all out and had a fabulous dinner and night of fun. I tried to be good with the camera but with two two-year-olds running around plus preparing all the food, this was all I got.
