After Turkey Day

Hello All,
Trust you all had a great Thanksgiving Day and returned to your homes safely and turkey stuffed. We (Johnson and Chitwood family) went to West Tn to Dave's Mom's house and Dave and Jeremy spent the weekend hunting. On Thanksgiving evening Papa, Brooke, Christy, Dave and Mason and Hayden went to see that super dog movie Bolt and the old ladies stayed at home and cooked and had some quiet time while they were gone. (We celebrated our Thanksgiving on Friday evening). We had a very nice time at Memaw's (Dave' Mom) and came home on Saturday. Christy, Dave and boys came home on Sat. eve also and when they came out of Henry Horton park they hit a deer but thank God it only hurt the car and not any injuries to anyone inside. Christy said it could have been a lot worse because it was and embankment on both sides of the road and they could have rolled the car but God sent his angels to take care of them.
I believe Hayden enjoyed his thanksgiving turkey but he missed seeing his cousins because they all have been sick and Kim (Landon, Kinley, and Carley's Mom) did not want to bring any germs for Hayden to catch, and for that we we are thankful. We sent some dough ornaments for them to paint to put on their tree, because we didn't get to do that at Memaw's. Hayden is continueing to get stronger each day and is really enjoying being at home with brother. They are very active boys!!!!!

I have missed my blogging because where Dave's Mom lives is out in the country and there are no towers around we even have trouble using our cell phones they don't pick up inside her house. I must close for now and get my Christmas stuff out and up and work on the Christmas play for church. I will try to keep you updated at least a couple of times a week.

Here are some prayer requests: Hayden will continue to get stronger each day and put some much needed weight on, he is very thin right now. Pray that he will stay well and not catch any kind of flu that is going around right now, because his immune system is weak from surgery.
Pray for healing but if he has to have future surgery that all will go well. Pray for Mom and Dad and Mason that they will get some rest and stay well. Thanks again for all you prayer warriors that lift us up daily.

Still Praising Him for His goodness and blessings,
Mimi

Christy called on the way to Memaw's, as we were on our way to Gatlinburg for the holiday, to catch up. So glad you all had a great Thanksgivig and were able to be together as one family.

Hope Dave and/or Jeremy got a deer in the normal hunting fashion and not just by the vehicle.

Hope Scrooge is going well. Performance is in a couple of weeks. Wish we could come see, but that is the same weekend as our musical. I know it will be great. I saw Sharon Wiggin the other day and told her that you all were doing Scrooge. She said that she had watched the video when we did it not long ago. What great memories.

Love, hugs, and kisses sent your way.

Happy to hear that you all had a nice Thanksgiving. Will continue to remember all the prayer needs that you mentioned. Happy to hear that Hayden is enjoying his time away from doctors and hospitals. We know God is with Hayden. We have all seen God's power through his life. Each day He is healing more. Happy that no one was hurt in the near collison. Will continue to trust God with you for Hayde's continued healing. Love you all, Ms Sandra
