Thanksgiving is always a special time of year for the Fletcher & Bell families. We typically celebrate it each year out on the farm, but this year Uncle Charge & Aunt Nancy had dinner at their house. After a wonderful turkey dinner with all the fixings we all drove out to the Forest Grove Cemetery to honor our ancestors. In this picture your Mommy & Daddy are standing in front of your Great Grandpa Bell & Great Grannie Bell's headstone. They were both famous in their own right, Martha for her cinnamon buns & fantastic cooking and Curtis for his watermelons & sweet potatoes. You've come from a long line of Forest Grovers. We pray that you will come to love this time of year as much as your whole family does, especially how much your Great Grannie Bell loved this day and how much she reveled in feeding everyone to their hearts content.
We also celebrated your cousin Ryan Ashton's 1st birthday. We had a great time all being together, singing Happy Birthday to Buddy Goo & seeing him dive into his homemade one-of-a-kind birthday cake!
One final celebratory note, two years ago, on this very special day, your Daddy asked for your Mommy's hand in marriage. He asked me on our walk down to the cemetery, on the steps of the Forest Grove Baptist Church. Your Mommy said very excitedly with a great big smile on her face... "Yes!"
The Fletchers & Bells have so many reasons to be thankful!
