Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving yesterday! We had a very relaxing day. We headed to Mamaw and Papaw's house (Mike's dad's parents) and spent the day with his family. I was SO tired all day for some reason (probably from eating too much), so I didn't end up getting too many pictures. I did catch a few cute ones of Ben and Ellie though (Mike's cutie-pie cousin). Ben loved playing with her. I can't wait to see him with his little sister! :)

I also captured this LOVELY gem of a picture. It's my brother-in-law, Brad, sporting Granny Ina's Christmas sweatshirt that she made herself several years ago (you can't tell here, but there is puff-paint and glitter involved). He is planning to wear it to an upcoming Christmas party. If you know Brad, this kind of thing is pretty typical. You can always count on a good laugh when he's around. Bradley...you're hot. :)

We went to the outlet mall today and let Benny ride the train. He was very excited, even though there isn't much to see on the 20 minute ride other than the outside of each of the stores and the highway...woo hoo! :) Here we are on the "choo choo"...

I have such a blessed life and I know I don't thank God nearly as often as I should. So, just wanted to take a second to say that I am so thankful for the big things in life (family, friends, home, job, etc), but also all the little things that happen everyday that I know God is orchestrating for my good, as I trust in Him.
