{Thankful}
We have a "Thankful" Banner that has been hanging in our dining room this last month. I have cherished the sweet conversations that have taken place between our family, as we have reflected on all the many things that we are thankful for. We are feeling especially grateful for our good health, as we have watched our sweet Lexi battle Leukemia.
This Thanksgiving was spent with my family. It felt extra special this year, since we no longer live close to them. I am so grateful that all my siblings and their families were able to join us for our "Feast"
 |
| Grammy brought turkey treats for the kiddo's |
 |
| The girls did a lot of dressing up |
 |
| We had a very special guest join us. My grandma. The kids call her GG
for Great Grandma. I promise you, she is just as sassy as that red
hair!! Loved having her in our home and watching her love on our
babies. |
 |
| Listening to a story |
 |
| At the end of the story Gracey proceeds to ask GG.... "GG, why do you
have one tooth going this way and another tooth going a different way?" I
interrupted the conversation when she began asking if it was because
she didn't brush her teeth enough... oh goodness, she is a brutally
honest daughter of a hygienist. |

 |
| My dad will be in Africa working during Christmas this year, so the kids
got to do a little celebrating with their Papa. They lined up and
anxiously awaited their "Papa gift". The kids were so quiet, I think
Beckham thought we were going to pray. His little arms are all ready!! |
 |
| Papa handing out his gifts |
 |
| Some really excited boys! |
 |
| Their very own Sleeping Bags! |
 |
The day after Thanksgiving was especially gorgeous and we spent the day at Avila Beach. The kids played for hours, just happy to be together.
|
 |
| Beckham found one of my brothers old toy swords one day, while playing
at my moms house. Well, this sword goes where ever Beckham goes!! He
has even perfected doing everything one handed, as to insure no one
takes his powerful sword. |
 |
| Tiffany, Harmony and my baby brother Justin |
 |
| Happy cousins |
 |
| And of course we finished our outing with some locally made ice cream. |
 |
| Grandkids! [there are 2 more joining the family next year!] |
 |
| Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! |
