Thanksgiving...

(not a real cupcake... just cute)

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving... pretty low key. TJ's dad spent Thanksgiving with Sarah, Jared and the girls so we just drove to the other side of the neighborhood and spent Thanksgiving with my parents. But, before we woke up and watched the Macy's parade on TV. Karoline loved and watched the whole thing... TJ and Anderson took an hour "jam session" break (see video below)... You will also see Karoline & Anderson's favorite characters they saw in the parade.

Seeing the princess castle made her think that she needed to be a Thanksgiving princess... some things are not worth fighting about so her cute smocked Thanksgiving dress stayed in the closet at home... Maybe next year :)

TJ was in charge of making his mom's WONDERFUL sweet potato souffle... YUMMY!

Buster REALLY was hoping TJ would drop something...

Prissy and Buster wondering when we would let them back in...

Karoline was in charge of decorating and setting the table...

She requested to use these... YES, my WEDDING napkins! Needless to say we ordered
a few extra 8 years ago and Karoline has LOVED using them over at my parents,
but I must report after this meal they were all gone.

Karoline with my parents right before dad got sick and had to go to bed :(

Finally... dinner time!

I will say it has been a VERY hard year, too much hurt that I don't even want to remember yet God has been so faithful and true to our family and I am so Thankful! I am VERY blessed to have an unbelievable husband who works so hard and is so loving and forgiving and crazy beautiful children so are AMAZING! Thank you God! I'm so thankful for my mom especially because she gives up so much of her time to play with my kids so I can work and be very hands on in our ministry at Wellspring! Speaking of Wellspring, I am thankful for all that God has done this year... the lives changed and the families that are committing to our purpose... To see those far from God become PASSIONATE followers of Jesus Christ! I'm thankful for Premier for allowing me to provide some for our family financially but with little time taken away from them & that they are such a godly company! I am thankful for wonderful friends, here in Myrtle Beach and all over our country! Truly blessed!! Happy Thanksgiving!
