Thanksgiving 2012

"Give Thanks, with a grateful heart..." Thanksgiving 2012 was amazing. I am amazed sometimes at How much God loves us all. How he works wonders in our lives. How his love never fails. How he blesses us each and every day. Sometimes, I will admit, we fall short and fail to open our eyes to all of HIS wonderful works. God is great. He is a constant in my life. He loves me unconditionally. He is worthy of praise and Thanksgiving each and every day. I know that I am blessed beyond measure. I am so thankful for everything in my life and I owe it all to Christ. He has taught me how to love, how to forgive, how to hope, how to be faithful and so much more. I only pray that my son will grow to realize the abundance of  Love that God has for him.
This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with The Puent side of our family first. Oma prepared a large meal for us all and it was wonderful. Asher enjoyed making faces back and forth across the table with his OverOma, I enjoyed helping (if you call it that) prepare the meal and Kenny enjoyed watching football with his dad and Opa. We ended that trip with a sleepy baby boy and great memories.

After Oma and Opa's, we headed over to MeMe and Papaw's house for Round 2. I swear that my mother always prepares enough food to feed an army. With that being said though, our family does keep growing. We just added little Tate man in October to the bunch!!! This year was a little different. We had some of my mother's cousins visit from out of town. It made it all the more special to have them come down and join us. Time slips away from us all so quickly. It was a reminder of how special family is.
