So much to be thankful for!

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope all of yours were full of blessings! Sorry for the picture overload- so much to share, I could only narrow it down so much! The kids and I headed to my parents for Thanksgiving while Aaron stayed home to help his uncle and cousin pick corn. We missed him terribly, but had a wonderful time at Mom and Dad's with all of the family! My sister-in-law, Amber, and I decided it was one of the best Thanksgivings...after dinner most of us headed outside for a game of hide and go seek tag- the weather was perfect for it! And, of course we played games of pitch (Karen and Jeremey took the pie there!) and Cranium! Lots of love, talking, laughing...family! I am reminded over and over of God's love for my family and myself...He continues to shower blessings upon us...and I am humbled and grateful. Praise the Lord!

A blessed Thanksgiving!

Papa bought several moutaches for the kids to play with- it was really funny- once the 'staches went on, a whole new personality came out in the kids!

Zachery- so excited to have a boy cousin to play with! He liked pushing Eli and just wanted Eli to talk to him!

Miss Audrey and Trinity- they don't always play well together- both have a little bit of bossiness in them! Here, though, they were playing so sweet! Not exactly sure what kind of a card game a 3 and 4 year old play...

Aunt Amber was helping Trinity take pictures...we got lots of pictures of a ceiling fan and a few of the floor- this was the best one- Aunt Amber and Trinity!

Two heads are better than one...Emalie and Trinity doing what small town/country girls do- playing in the dirt!

A blessed Thanksgiving!

Eli helping Papa while he worked.

Uncle Jeremey giving Eli love after he got hurt.

Emalie adores Eli...any chance she had, she was giving him hugs and kisses. For a little bit whenever Emalie came in the room we were in, Eli would run over and sit on my lap! One day he'll enjoy playing games with his cousin!

Emalie has love for everyone- especially her mommy!

A budding artist

I know I should have done this much sooner, but I finally let Trinity go at it with paints...she was hilarious- concentrating so hard- painting slowly with her tongue barely sticking out...our little artist!

Lauren's Wedding

One of my very closest friends, Lauren Fallis, got married about 2 weeks ago. Here are a few pictures from her wedding...she was an absolutely beautiful, glowing bride! Congratulations, Lauren and Brandon!

Trick or Treat!

Trinity was a baker for Halloween. She usually said "trick-or-treat"- after getting her candy, and she usually remembered to say "thank-you". She had a great time going from house to house. After trick-or-treating we headed back home to hand out candy to visiting characters...she also was very generous in handing out candy- especially the candy she didn't like!
