Thank You God

How do we begin to give Thanks this Thanksgiving when we are blessed with so much...we have amazing kids and loving, supportive families who we genuinely enjoy being around! We spent Thanksgiving with Josh's family which meant more than enough caring hands to help watch over our little blessings! Aaron just LOVES his cousins and we're certain Emily will too once she realizes how much more fun they are than Mom!

THANK YOU FOR FAMILY

Here are Aaron and Emily playing piano with Aunt Kari...how blessed are we that we have a sister-in-law who teaches preschool and, of course, my sister as well! Natural born, and well educated, kid lovers!

THANK YOU FOR THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE US SMILE

Here is Emily's turkey day hair accessory...couldn't resist!

THANK YOU FOR GENUINELY HAPPY KIDS

There's always room for a little ham on turkey day!

THANK YOU FOR GRANDMAS AND LITTLE GIRLS

Can you feel the love? Great Grandma and Grandma enjoying some Emmie time!

THANK YOU FOR HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT
Emily is picking up so many things. She knows what things are used for...for example, she tries to brush her hair with her hairbrush, brush her gums with her brother's toothbrush, holds the toy phone near her ear (see below) and put the headphones on in the car:

THANK YOU FOR PIGGIES

I just couldn't resist a little Piggy Paint on her piggies...

THANK YOU FOR HER

THANK YOU FOR HIM

...and for the guy with the strong, loving hands holding him.

We're ready for the Christmas season...we've never been ready so early before...
THANK YOU FOR KIDS AT CHRISTMAS-TIME!
