Thankful

We had a wonderful week last week getting to spend Thanksgiving with our families both in Cincinnati and Lexington.  This year I felt overwhelmingly thankful, mostly because we are just so incredibly blessed.  This Thanksgiving I am particularly thankful for:

- Living in Birmingham (being so much closer to both of our families)
- Our church family at Homewood
- Matthew's new job
- Living literally 5 minutes away from J, K, and the boys.  It's nice being able to say, "Oh yeah, we have family here too!"
- Thankful for all of our friends in Birmingham, Nashville, Decatur, Houston, Denver, Missouri, Ohio, etc... We are blessed by an abundance of lifelong friendships.  Something Matthew and I hold very dear.
- Being able to have the opportunity to stay at home with Avery almost full-time and go to graduate school.  I am very thankful for a husband who works so hard to provide for our family and support me in anything and everything.
- Our wonderful parents and grandparents
- Our siblings
- And last but most certainly not least, our sweet baby girl, who is a constant source of pure joy.  Our little family of 3 is the most perfect blessing.

Here are the pics from Thanksgiving.  Ashley, Buddy, Matthew and I went to Lexington first on Wednesday to go to the Kentucky game with David and Sandra.  Thank you David for providing all of us with tickets.  We spent Thursday and part of Friday in Cinci with my side of the fam. and then back to Lexington to celebrate with M's parents.  It was a crazy few days of travel (Avery got her 5th ear infection), but well worth it in order to spend time with our loved ones.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

*Anyone else guilty of not decorating for Christmas yet?  Whoops.  Hoping to remedy the situation tomorrow.

What's a trip to Lexington without pizza at Joe B's?

We honestly all wore polka dots on accident.
