Turkey Day 2011

We enjoyed yet another wonderful Thanksgiving in Chesapeake with our family. I hardly took any pictures this year. I was too busy soaking in the love. :)

First order of business upon arrival...change into dress-up clothes!

The Kid Table

Sam and Lily...they were two peas in a pod this visit.

Finny watching cartoons

Cassidy as Wonder Woman...LOVE IT!!!

Gran and his children (Sue, Monk, and Mom)

We were so blessed that Gran was feeling good and able to join us again this year. He brought an old photo album from the war and we sat and listened to him tell us about all the pictures, places and people.

There will soon be 9! Heather announced that she is expecting again, due May 21st! We added this wonderful news to our long list of blessings that we thanked God for that day!

No longer with us, but never forgotten.
It was a bittersweet day. There were tears, but there was also plenty of laughter. And love. Oh yes, there was lots and lots of love.

Finn had to get in on the action too! :)

As always, we had so many reasons to be thankful...so many reasons to celebrate...so many old memories to relive...and so many new ones to make. I am so blessed to be a part of this beautiful family...and the girls say they can't wait until next year! :)
