A mix of photography, recipes, personal thoughts, faith, and lots of family stuff, but not necessarily in that order.

Obvious thankfulness

The rest of my Thankful(s)....
Thanksgiving morning I posted about the not-so-obvious things I'm thankful for, so after a weekend of family and celebration I thought I'd share some of the photo's of more blessings. 
If you missed my 1st post the link for that is below.

I'm so thankful for my family. 

I do the Turkey and mashed potatoes the day before, especially with a large group.
Thats what crock pots are for, right?

The main table
We had 15 family members this year.

It isn't Thanksgiving without some pie eating.
Our Carson is loving himself some pumpkin pie.

My Birthday fell on the day after Thanksgiving this year 
so we all went our for a birthday dinner Friday night.
Our son Brice and his family came and stayed with us until Saturday afternoon.
the cousins were able to have some quality playtime over the weekend.

My 2 sweet grand girls

All 4 of them  <3 p="">

 Saturday morning, this guy LOVES his ahh-pa (grandpa)

 Lew was "helping" me make scrambled eggs.

It's always so quite when the kids leave, too quiet!
 We sit and relax and reminisce about out grandkids and kids!
We are thankful for our 3 grown children out son-in-love and Daughter-in-love, 
and those beautiful amazing grandkids...... That's just obvious thankfulness.

  1. Total sweetness!! This is why we/I want to make sure we don't head South till AFTER Christmas. Even though our family is ultra small, those gatherings with the wee ones (and not-so-wee) are treasured moments that must not be by-passed. Thanks so much for sharing, Jackie! Blessings and hugs.......

  2. Oh, Jackie, what a wonderful several days with those you love most. For the cousins to have that time together is so special also. I don't have to ask if you had a happy birthday. I know you did.

    Lew looks just like Scar, curls and all.

  3. Our kids grew up with their cousin and had soooo many. I love when they are able to spend time together.
