Happy thanksgiving y'all!! :) I have so much to be thankful for, don't you? Just so that this list doesn't become some kind of book, I'll tell you about a few things that I "give thanks" for. Above all, I am so very grateful to my Father in Heaven for dying on the cross for my sins, and choosing me to be His child. It's amazing to think that even though He doesn't need me, He wants me. I've gone through both happy and sad times, but through it all, He was always by my side. Second, I'm thankful for my family. Each one of them have blessed me in a wonderful way. Whether it would be me needing someone to talk with, cry with, laugh with, or just a simple hug...I know I can count on them for those. Love y'all. For the third thing, it would go to the many people God has put in my life...my friends. Ones from church, and other places. I don't think a girl could ask for better friends, y'all are such blessings to me!

And of course, I'm very thankful for my Grandparents who open their home to the family every Thanksgiving so we can once again be together. Looking back, I would have to say that this year was the best that we've had in a long time. The day was filled with delicious food, games, laughter, and of course some football. ;) I hope y'all like pictures because I've got lots!! Y'all enjoy, and I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving!

These three became best friends by the end of the day, can you tell?

just a little longer!

With 35 family members, we need lots of tables, chairs, and cups.
This was one table of three. :)

Baby Jude, aww...Look at those eyes!


Bennett brought his little table so he and Bobby could enjoy time
by themselves. Looks like their having fun!

This picture makes me smile every time, look at those teeth!!

"A family that prays together, stays together."
A family member heard the call of Christ to come together and pray for
our Uncle who has been suffering MS for several years now.

Super Angel, Yes, we did. Such a wonderful time when you spend it with the ones you love. :)

Jeremiah, Thanks! lol...That would be me. :) We were all going the same direction and I saw everyone in the mirror so I stopped them for a picture. Was that who you had in mind??

Tara, Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to you too! I hope y'all had a fabulous holiday! Oh, and thanks. :)

Kathryn, No shopping? What kind of girl are you?! ;) Shopping is the best, especially when you can get nice shirts for $3.00! Glad y'all had a good time!
