Thanksgiving 2017

Thanksgiving 2017 was sweet and special. Plus super delicious and tasty! We had a great time celebrating with both of our families and enjoyed all the food, fun, and family time. It was full day of giving thanks and enjoying our blessings. His faithfulness and grace are abundant!

We started the day pretty early by dropping off a super simple dish at my parents' house and then posing for our annual party of 5 Thanksgiving Day family photo. ☺

My babies are growing so fast. And it's so bittersweet! 

Thanksgiving 2016... 

2015.... 

And Layton's first, 2014....

While we were there we were able to check out the massive turkey. The boys were super impressed.... and maybe a little weird-ed out. Ha! They've never seen one like this before since it's always carved by the time we partake of it. It was soo good!

We quickly headed over to Terrell's parents' house Thanksgiving morning after the quick stop by Granna's and Papa's. This year Terrell's sister and her fam were here so we enjoyed the first half of the day with them. We watched the parade together, the kids played a ton, and then we ate a delicious meal prepared by my mother-in-law. Everything was amazing!

I remembered to snap this picture of the kiddos while they got ready for dessert!

After we were all stuffed and most of the mess was cleared away the cousins wanted to go outside. It was chilly but a really pretty day. They had a ball playing together.

Then we decided to attempt a Thanksgiving Day family selfie and I love how it turned out! So thankful for each and every member!!

 Around 3:00 or so we headed over to my parents' house where they host an all day feast. ☺ Most of the family comes for lunch but my aunt and uncle typically stay for supper and so does our family of 5 and Anna's family. Even though I didn't get to see the spread in person, Anna grabbed these pictures for me. YUM!! There is a ton of food and everything is pretty much perfect. It's definitely my favorite meal of the year. 

My boys with Granna and Papa.... 

The best examples of hosting and generosity I know. They have set the bar HIGH. 

The boys enjoyed a little more dessert and some time with their cousins inside before changing into play clothes and spending the rest of the afternoon outside. 

They had so much fun. And then we enjoyed another amazing meal and quality time with family. It was a blessed day we are so thankful for. 

Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:4-5
