Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving brings to mind many things I am grateful for but the most has to be my family. Brandon and Andrea surprised us (ok, I have known since Tuesday but I couldn't tell anyone else) and came Thursday morning to be here for Thanksgiving!!! That meant we had the whole family here at the same time for the first time since last Christmas!! It was so much fun. Jeff's Mom, Dad and brother Greg also came for the holiday. As you can tell, everyone took turns holding the Jocelyn. Mady wasn't too sure she like her mama holding another baby but she got lots of attention of her own so she got over it quickly.
Everyone pretty much hung out, played games and helped put together a great dinner. It was fun having all four kids, all three daughter's-in-law and all three and a half grandchildren here for the holiday.
Just a few more pictures to show our holiday. Ian hangining out in the back yard (I can't believe how big he is!); the grand-daughters hanging out at the table. Everyone just spending time together. Isn't that the biggest blessing we have, our family?! I am so thankful for each and every one of them and all they do for me.

Renee,
I'm thankful so much for my family as well... including all of my sisters. What would I do without you all.

Your family is so lovely, and I'm happy you were all together. What a joy. It's such a wonderful feeling to have our children with us.

Our own fun Thanksgiving holiday was topped off on Monday by TJ coming home with Jade and Tim! What a treasured blessing those sweet grandchildren are to us.

We love you all and appreciate your constant care and support.

Love,
***Wendy
