Thanksgiving Memories

Mark with Livi and Shiloh. The only girls!
My mom and me. Thanksgiving was at her house.
My sister and her husband enjoying turkey and cider.

The 2 girls have their very own princess table! Shiloh loved it and couldn't wait to show her cousin!
The boys table--where goofiness abounds!! They had so much fun together. Tried to get pictures of them playing football with Grandpa D, but they didn't turn out. :(
And here are those adorable twin faces!! They are both walking around and getting into everything! Though they are identical, Kenny (right) is always full of smiles and Ryan is a bit more subdued.

Happy Thanksgiving!

While I am thankful all throughout the year, it is nice to have a holiday set aside specifically for focusing on all of God's blessings.

I like to do "holiday" research, so here are a few links if you would like to check them out.

My flesh loves to complain, but I know that I have so much to be thankful for.

As I have said in another post, I am so thankful for everything God has done for us in AZ.

I am thankful for my family's health and well-being.

I am thankful for my faithful and hard working husband.

I am thankful for our TN family and AZ family and CO family.

I am thankful that I can home school my kids.

I am thankful for a lot of the freedoms that I have.

I echo my 5 year old in saying that I am also and most thankful for Jesus dying on the cross for my sins.

The list could go on and on I have so much to be thankful for!
