thankful hearts

This Thanksgiving weekend was a time to be thankful for the sweet things in life.  The gifts that God gives us daily, and the love He constantly gives.  His love is greater and mighty in every season of life we walk through. 
                                        
                                            

We enjoyed a thanksgiving out this year. We had thanksgiving with my parents this year.  We loved getting up, being thankful, getting dressed and going out on thanksgiving.  This was a first- but we all really enjoyed our lunch, talking about what we are thankful for, and being together as a family.
                                                 my little turkey had to climb a tree.....maybe he's more like my little monkey.

 i sure am thankful for this man.  i couldn't ask for a sweeter, loving, go fearing, man in my life.  I am so thankful for this man.  He blesses me grately.
                       these little loves....they are my gifts each day.  Thank you lord for my little loves. I am one thankful mommy.
 My parents have walked through many life challanges this year.  We rejoice for my dad standing in this picture and healing so well from his fall 3 months ago.  It was a blessing to have you at our table, making us laugh, always spicing up a holiday, going out at midnight for black friday, loving on our kids, and always making your laughter laugh so much.  You pops- we are thankful for. 
Bi bi- your walk with jesus this year has been so graceful, full of real honest hardship, but your love for Him has shown.  Never complaining- full of brightness, and love, we are so thankful for your heart of love.  We were so thankful to have a day to give thanks with you, and remembering our sweet me me.  You have had a year were you gave so much to your family- your mom, you did what you had to do with a heart full of love....a testimony.
                                         
                                  Our little tucked away table...it was yummy, a great place for kids, and relaxing- dad loved not washing dishes this year....and mom needed not to cook, enjoy this day- and we really did.
                                          
                                     
                          Thank you bi bi and pops for a sweet thanksgiving.  I can't go with out saying.....
 We sure do miss you me me.  It was a day we talked about your life, the ways you touched us all..how much we miss you, but we also talked about how thankful we are- you are in heaven....we are thankful for our memories.

                                            This is one of my favorite pictures of me me and bi bi.
