Thanksgiving 2012

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family and fun. We ate all our family favorites and enjoyed spending time with our families from both sides. Ellie especially loved playing football and riding her bike as well as PopPop started cultivating a love for gardening and she spent a lot of time gathering and planting seeds in her garden (which is apparently the long flower bed on the side of our house). It was made even more special as it was the first time my parents had been here since last Thanksgiving as my Mom has battled breast cancer in the last year. God gave us a huge blessing by providing her health and giving us many more opportunities to spend together as a family. We enjoy being able to spend the holidays with everyone and were especially happy all could be here for Quinny's first Thanksgiving.

What a wonderful time we had with everyone. It was such a blessing. You and Ben have done an awesome job with Ellie and Quinn. Ellie has such a sweet, loving personality and is so smart, not to metion beautiful. Quinn is a little angel and her eyes are definitely a crowd stopper! Thank you to both of you for who you are! And thanks be to God!!!
