We do have so much to be thankful for! God has blessed us with three absolutely wonderful children and precious family and friends. We are a part of an awesome church where we worship and have the privilege to serve as well. He provides for all of our needs and so much more! We are most thankful for a loving God and His Son Jesus who has forgiven us!
Each year, we enjoy the blessing of being a part of a Family Thanksgiving service at church. I believe that this year was the most meaningful one for us. What a gift to holding my new baby girl in my arms and agree with Hannah Mae as she sits by me and tells me that our most important job is to tell her (Sarah Kate) about Jesus! That's right sweet girl! As a church family, we shared the Lord's Supper and John Robert was able to participate for the first time! He was so sweet about it. He knew right away that he wanted to and was now able to participate. We've told him before that he could not take the elements until he had received Jesus into his heart and asked Him to be His Lord and Savior. When Mr. Cole came to serve us John Robert politely told him of his decision and asked if he could participate too! It was a very special evening. I can think of nothing better than being in the house of the Lord with my family and watching my children learn about and grow in Him!

We had to get a picture...
A proud Poppy and one of his sweetie girls. As you can see, she has him wrapped around her finger...
Doesn't take long for Nana to steal her away...I think she's a baby hog too! (Not my words, but Titi's!)
Thanksgiving morning...watching the parade and making cutout cookies. Love it!
The kiddos with Cousin Ashley and Titi, after dinner at Poppy and Nana's...frosting and decorating those yummy cookies!
Cousin Julie enjoys some cuddle time with Sarah Kate. This little girl is just full of love. We're so glad to be able to share her with loving family and friends. Thank you Lord Jesus!
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
His love endures forever.
