 This pictures cracks me up.  Nick decided it was time to make his move and he went right for the turkey bones..:)  He got a grip on them and wouldn't let go.  It was pretty funny.  He is a mess.
 My Mom and my uncle Steve
Ron, Deanna, Olivia and Bella, we missed you guys so much!  We know you all had a fun Thanksgiving in the OBX.  And Shane we missed you too!  We can't wait to see you guys soon.
We hope your holiday was filled with love, laughter and thanksgiving for all that He has done! 
From our little Family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving at Nanny's

For lunch on Thursday, I went to Mike and Sylvia's house to celebrate Thanksgiving with Josh's side of the family!  Josh had to work so he couldn't be there. :(   We had a great time eating all the delicious food and catching up with each other...plus meeting all the sweet little additions to the family!  The family is so big, I never do a good job taking pictures of everyone, but I tried really hard this year.  I don't think I got everyone, but it's better than last year!!

C&C Thanksgiving Gathering

Tonight, Josh and I had the College and Career class over for what I'm calling our
 "Thanksgiving Gathering."
Thank you Paula for having this great idea to get together. We had a wonderful time.  Paula made vegetable soup and I made taco soup, April brought the cookie cake and Kristen brought the drinks!  Josh did a small devotion, we ate the yummy food and then played games.  We had good food and great fellowship!  And we even got to "facetime" with Karen :) We were so happy that Anna and Rebecca were both home and got to join us.  For everyone that didn't make it, we missed you and hope you can make next time.  Josh and I are so thankful for each one of you and feel so blessed to be apart of such a special group of people!  We love you guys!
~"They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness." Psalm 145:7~

Giving Thanks at Grandma's

We had our Thanksgiving at Grandma and Papa's house this past Saturday.  Derek cooked the turkey, my Dad and Judy brought the ham, and the ladies brought all the fixin's.  We had lots of yummy food and really enjoyed our time spent together as a family!

 Love this one!  Our Grandparents are so very special!
 Me and my bro...PS-we didn't plan on matching, we are both just cool like that :)
