Thankful Thursday

From my turkeys to yours…


Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving 2010

On Thanksgiving Day, we made our annual trip to Macon to visit with all my aunts, uncles, and cousins.  We had tons of delish food, lots of catching up, and of course many, many photos.

Our family continues to grow and it was wonderful to meet the newest addition to our family, Charles Kirby.  And Grandma Dot & PaPa Kirby were thrilled to show him off.

The cousins always have a fun time playing together, even if it’s just sitting side by side playing their DSes.

We also got to celebrate Mary’s birthday with a delicious Aunt Dot cake.

Happy Thanksgiving

I will praise God’s name in song
   and glorify him with thanksgiving.
This will please the LORD more than an ox,
   more than a bull with its horns and hooves.
Psalm 69:30-31

I am thankful that I have been blessed with this life that I have.  It is not always an easy life.  Sometimes it can be down right hard.  There are times when I’d like to change certain aspects but I trust that the Lord knows best .  There are other things that I would never want to change or give up.  Thankfully, the Lord has blessed me with an amazing husband, wonderful kids, a terrific family, and fantastic friends to share both the good and the bad with.  Thank you Lord for all that you have blessed me with.

Last Sunday, we gathered at Papa & Ah-ee’s to partake of some Thanksgiving goodies!  It was an excellent opportunity to get some photos of their favorite little turkeys.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.   This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.  For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.  1 Timothy 2:1-6

Thanksgiving 2009, Part 2

Thanksgiving tradition dictates that we spend part of the afternoon taking our annual family photos. As we have grown over the years, family pictures have become a somewhat humorous affair...I mean when you have TEN kids under the aged 7 and under and Uncle Marc trying to make them smile with his silly voices, then your going to have some laughs. Family photos were even more special this year since it was the first time in a while that we got to have everyone in the same place at the same time! Yea us!!!

Thanksgiving 2009, Part 1

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Aunt Esther & Uncle Donnie's home in Macon, GA. We've been celebrating at their house for at least the past eight years, and every year it gets better and better. The past several years it seems that someone is always missing, but we were very blessed this year to have everyone present and accounted for. We've grown quite a bit since Trey's first Thanksgiving in 2002...back then he was the only little one, this year we had TEN! We have so much to be thankful for...starting with FAMILY!
