It was such a treat to stay put for Thanksgiving this year. There were no long car rides {with screaming Rovers} and no packing or worse… unpacking! Our weekend was full and lovely and the Lord was gracious in every way!
This is what I loved about it:
Spotting Mommy Raiger at the farm with her purse.
Letting Paige pick the only fruit we yielded this year from the Satsuma trees.

Allowing Morgan to explore nearby cotton fields in all their white and dreamy goodness and listen to her plan our own cotton field in our front yard with the seeds she pulled out of the cotton.

Sneaking in a picture with all three of my babies.

Watching them be silly and play with one another!

Enjoying Justin’s mother’s beautiful table decorations {& food} for both the kids…

Being reminded of all that I have to be thankful for.

Seeing and spending time with these two precious people on Friday!

I called her “mine” and kissed her precious little face off. Unfortunately Rover hasn’t warmed up to her just yet.

Watching family on a hayride who resemble what I can only imagine I look like 90% of the time.

Trying to capture the “perfect” Christmas picture for my in law’s {along with both sister-in-laws & mother-in-law}!

Almost forgetting to put John Martin in the “cousin” picture, how could anyone forget him!?

Letting the kids be kids… even the big kids!

Watching John Martin act like the boy that he is.

Making his little heart swoon by suggesting that he “help” daddy pull the “wagon”!

And now, I’m equally as excited about and in love with Christmas!
