So much to be thankful for!!!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year, usually it is our immediate family every year, because of Mikes schedule at UPS. However this year we were able to have lots of family together. Gramma and Papa, along with Aunt Suzie and Uncle Geoff were able to come , And their daughter Sandy with her husband John and their two beautiful daughters Sara and Emily, came from Boston. We cant forget Grandma Easton!(Aunt Suzie's mother).
So we had a full house, which was wonderful!!!! I'm so grateful for every one I have in my life you all mean so much to me. I think Ive gotten use to seeing my mom over the last couple months, so I missed her alot today, as well as my dad. Today was just one of those days for the memories that I will always cherish, watching the kids bicker, eat, and bicker and eat some more, but overall to see the joy in their eyes!!( the boys may have been a little happy to have the two older girls in the house, but Faith was the one who was able to play "kitchen" with them all evening :)). Overall It was very joy full, I do miss the family that we were not able to be with, but I was able to speak with them and wish them well.

Happy Holidays

 
 
GOT BOOTS?

 

Alex celebrated his 8th Birthday! this was the "best birthday ever"!!! The first surprise was to have grandma come up from WV! Then the dirt bike of course! Its been a fun and exciting week, to bad its almost over! To top it all..... Mikes dad made us a new table and matching buffet, its beautiful, so of course I have rearranged the entire area of the house!

 

This past weekend we were able to relax and enjoy! Uncle Geoff and Aunt Suzie came over with Gramma and Papa for our Sunday football, for those who are unaware, Mike carries all of our TV's into the basement "Man room", so we fried a yummy Turkey, and had lots of snacks, ate to our hearts delight!!! I had to take a moment and enjoy the fall air, and scenery it was a beautiful sunset, I was able to capture it in all its glory. Moments like that make all the stresses of life small, even for just a moment, that we forget financial stress, parenting stress, most of all Holiday stress!! It was nice to be able to put it all perspective if only for a moment.I also added some other pictures of our busy Halloween day and night. I was able to help in Faiths Pre-K class for two days, to prepare for the big party and school parade of costumes, it was great to be apart of that. We also got to see Alex in his dirty hippie self during the parade, Andrew and a few of his friends dressed up as hobos.
Lots of fun!!!
