I spent the past 5 days surrounded by the ones who mean the most to me. My family! Though we were unable to spend it with our large extended families in Ohio, Florida, New York and North Carolina, they were with us in spirit. We celebrated with my wonderful sister and mother this year and it was splendid! The boys had a great time embracing new traditions and being with the ones who love them most.
Jax helped me pull out the fancy dishes and I promised him we would start using them more often, as he says “they are too pretty to keep up in the cabinets.” So true! I got this lovely china set as a wedding gift from my parents and it is so silly that we SAVE things for special occasions. I am determined to make more special occasions through out the year. I started a thankful jar. Each of us got 4 pieces of paper and wrote down things we were thankful for. It was fun to hear what the kids had to say, and very heartwarming to hear the adults as well. A few favorites were family, showers, hugs and work. As you can see in the picture below we all had a part in preparing the feast!

Here Logan is modeling his turkey leg hat he made at school. It has to be one of the best Thanksgiving crafts I have seen!! We also had a kiddy table this year! How funny is it that I have enough kids to have a kids table. Oh the memories I have with all 13 of my cousins sitting at the kids table! Good times… good times!

I was such a great day and the food of course was fantastic! Thanksgiving is one of my all time favorite holidays. I love that is truly about family! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Here are a few things I am thankful for, and I would love to hear what you are thankful for. For every comment left on this post (from now till December 15) I will donate a can of food to the local food pantry. I got this idea from other photographers and wanted to do it as well!
So your comment equals one can of food! I’ll be sure to post pictures once all the cans have been purchased!

I am so far behind on blogging it’s not even funny. I apologize. I am going to give it my all to get this up and going again, if not everyday, at least once a week.
I wanted to show off the lovely Miss Chelsea before I go tackle some more editing. If you are waiting for your pictures… they are coming! Be patient. The past 6 months have been INSANE! I am so blessed that my business is taken off, and a bit overwhelmed. But that is a whole other post, ha ha ha.

Miss Chelsea thank you for being a fantastic 2010 rep for us and we look forward to watching you spread your wings. You are a remarkable young lady and I see nothing but great things in your future! Best wishes and ENJOY!
