Giving Thanks!

Sullivan likes to get his hands on the camera whenever he can. Here are some of his finest shots from our Thanksgiving lunch with Evan's grandma Bertie.

Oh Bumpa...we are so thankful for you! We are thankful for your excellent culinary skills which allowed us to have a delicious scallop dinner!! We are thankful for your collection of Looney Tunes which we watch whenever we come over. And we are thankful for your patience and loving kindness that you shower our boys with. We love you! Daddy...we are thankful for you! We are so thankful for how hard you work each and every day to give us the things that we need. We are thankful that you love to wrestle and play all the fun games that mommy doesn't really like to play. We are thankful that you read bedtime stories and rock and sing us to sleep. We love you daddy!

Mimi...we are thankful for you! We are so thankful for the wonderful activities that you are constantly doing with the boys to better their skills and minds. We are so thankful for the cuddling that you do while our precious boys sleep on your lap. We are so thankful that we have a Mimi who gives our boys so much undivided attention and love. We love you!

Great-Grandma Bertie...we are thankful for you and your generosity. We are so blessed to have you in our lives and be able to see you so often. How amazing that the boys are able to know and love not just grandparents, but GREAT grandparents!

Our Thanksgiving day included a turkey lunch at Emerson House where Evan's grandmother lives. We then went back to our house and Ev's parents came over. We had a delicious scallop dinner and relaxed at home. It was a wonderful day.

Ben was showing off his walking skills which he is still working on. Getting a little bit better every day. He takes a few steps and then decides that he can get where he wants to go quicker by crawling. And then off he goes!

Bertie and Ben were sharing a special moment. She adores seeing the boys and they like going to visit her too. It was a fun day. As for the rest of our family...we are so thankful for you as well. We wish that we could have been with you all during this day, but know that you were definately on our minds and in our hearts. We have so much to be thankful for...starting with the simplest of things like clothing and comfort, food and clean water, cars and jobs. Above and beyond these things we are just spoiled. And to God we give all the gratitude for giving us these amazing lives. Evan and I are so blessed with love, beautiful healthy children and amazing family and friends. We love you all and hope that your Thanksgiving was wonderful as well.
