Lots to be Thankful for!

With Grammy still on the road to recovery Uncle Trey volunteered to take on the Thanksgiving responsibilities. He gladly accepted some sous chef help from Dadda, who is very good at chopping onions and mincing garlic!

And Uncle Trey taught Dadda that beer helps the cooking, and should be used in the food and in the chef no matter how early in the day you are doing the prep work!

Grammy oversaw the operations while sneaking in some extra Charlotte snuggle time!
Which Charlotte clearly loved!
Of course Margaret tried to steal the show with her adorable party clothes!

But after only a few minutes Margaret really wanted to change into something more comfortable...or nothing at all....
And of course Charlotte got lots of loving and attention too!
Aunt Joanne and Uncle Eric brought over cousin Matthew after dinner so that we could all celebrate Aunt Joanne's birthday!

She had a really neat turkey cake, so of course Margaret wanted to help blow out the "lights"

Then Margaret and Matthew (or "Match" as she calls him) got to play together....

At the end of this very busy day we made sure to stop and take time to remember all the things we have to be thankful for this year! While the year has had its ups and downs, we are SO grateful for everything that we have! And at the top of that list we are SO SO SO grateful that Grammy is doing so well and getting stronger and stronger everyday, and we of course have to give lots and lots and lots of thanks for this beautiful new little girl who has joined our family!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!
