Giving Thanks

Well, this Thanksgiving I had a heart overflowing with things to be thankful for. My salvation, the salvation of my husband and daughters, my amazing family of five who I am just humbled to get to spend my life with, God's provision for our family through my hard-working family-loving husband, and the list just goes on and on and on. I am blessed. Before we left for a fun Thanksgiving in Austin, Payton had a Thanksgiving day feast at school. She loved trying all the different food (weird, she never tries anything new!!!) We met my grandmother in Dallas for lunch and then went back to Austin for Thanksgiving with my mom and dad. It was a lot of fun and there was so much good food and a sweet time together. Blake had a pretty rough time while we were there. He got pneumonia and was really very sick. After we had an early Thanksgiving with my parents, we headed back home to have Thanksgiving with my amazing in-laws. We spent a lot of time playing, eating, shopping, and really just enjoying being together. We are really looking forward to getting both families together for Christmas in the mountains!! I will post when we return! Till then, enjoy these pics!


Payton's table centerpiece Silly turkey!Maci got to go with my mom, my sister and me to the Christmas Affair in Austin for some girl-time! She was a perfectly amazing shopping partner. She and I had a blast sampling every single piece of candy available to the point of making ourselves sick! We shared some serious laughter there! I loved my time with this beautiful girl!This child, adorable as she is, is not a shopper. She was not invited on our little outing because once we entered the building, the first words out of her mouth were sure to be, "My legs don't want to walk anymore." Therefore, she stayed behind with the men and played in the leaves, raked the leaves, watched movies, ate cookies, and had the attention of her favorite people all to herself! Trust me, everyone involved got exactly what they wanted! :) LOVE this kid more than words!This is just a random picture of my handsome little stinker covered in his Oreo cookies! He makes me smile!
