We celebrated our Thanksgiving this last Sunday at our new house. I have sooooo much to be thankful for....listen to this....3 precious grandparents, 1 sweet great aunt, 2 healthy wonderful parents, 2 awesome BIG brothers, 2 sweet sister-in-laws, 5 adorable neices and nephews, 2 loving aunts/2 kind uncles, 2 beautiful cousins and a couple of priceless family friends (and that is just Leah's side of the family)...a wonderful husband and a sweet as could be daughter! 25 total blessings, to be exact! Thank you God for my treasure of a family.
This was my debut as a cook for a large crowd. I could not have done it with out my wonderful momma's help. She taught me so much! I learned family recipes and the art to cooking a juicy turkey. Thank you mom for loving me and helping when ever I call (which is daily) and thanks family for being my guinea pigs!
It was a joy to gather together and fellowship! You all are welcome at our home, anytime!
Love to all, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Below are random pictures from the day...I wished I had snapped more. I was pretty tied up in the kitchen, though.

Wow - I am so impressed that you tackled cooking Thanksgiving dinner for your family! That is amazing. I wouldn't even know where to begin... I guess I would start by calling you! :)
I haven't met your sweet Mama, but I know that she must be one great lady. She sure did a wonderful job of raising her sweet daughter!
