Thanksgiving- 2017


We had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration this past week!
 We had a big crowd over... the more the merrier, right?! Here are a few photos of that special day...
Thankfully, we had enough seats for everyone inside since we had a wonderful rainy day outside=) (We needed the rain!)

Candles, fresh fruit, and greenery make for a very festive atmosphere!




We ate dessert every night for a few days afterwards because of all the leftovers!

It was all VERY good though=)


Guests are arriving, and we are finishing last touches!

Emaline and Mama made this creative little "turkey" with a cheeseball, bacon, pecans, and a bell pepper!

And...... What an amazing surprise, Blossom had a beautiful little heifer that morning! Actually, guests discovered her when driving in=) 


Provided great entertainment until the meal!

Sweetest entertainment<3


Going through the line!



Diggin' in!



These two were inseparable buddies=)

We had Mamaw and Bompa, several neighbors, a couple from church, and some friends with some of their extended family!




Alayna's cheescake!

We certainly had *plenty*=)

The girls wanted to bring in my bird... so he selfishly sat on his favorite perch, and gazed at his own reflection in the glass frame. He is something else!

"Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindess and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's."
Ps. 103:1-5

Our Christmas Celebration~ 2016

This Christmas was very special; and always humbling, as we remember the incarnation of Jesus. Who came and dwelt among us that He might accomplish the perfect will of His Father in walking among us, and then laying down His life for us- so unworthy + undeserving!

We were so glad Mamaw and Bompa could join us later for breakfast and the rest of the day!

Our family tradition on Christmas Day has always been to come out about 7:00AM, read the Christmas story, and  then open gifts.



Frank's turn first!

I'm just guessing that's a ball=)

Emaline made Anna-Frances a diaper bag along with baby doll dresses!

{LOL!}






Alayna gave me a snap press... no more manually hammering pearl snaps!



Mama's gift from Daddy... beautiful, red wind-chimes!

William worked many hours to refinish this desk for Daddy!



Creative, edible, personalized table decor... Gifted by dear friends! (We each got one=)

Alayna's scrumptious cinnamon rolls! {Another family tradition=)))}





Thankful for all the family times we've been granted!

" In this was manifested the LOVE of God toward us, because that GOD sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him."
1 Jn. 4:9
