Thanksgiving Pics 2009

we had quite a "thankful" thanksgiving. trey was so happy and a real joy all day. one of the biggest changes in him at 8 1/2 months is his personality: he is still bashful, but once he opens up he is such a flirt, and really funny, and can be sneaky and coy at times.he is starting to become less "frightened" by new people and experiences and transitions into things with more ease.....which is a new trait for Mr.Trey Man.
grama, papa and aunt a joined us, as well as yaya and pop pop, nennie and pawpaw, aunt kristin and uncle ryan and pop pop's longtime friend, Rundy. it was so special to have aunt kristin with us as she is almost 6months pregnant, with a baby girl, and her tummy is just now starting to pop out(she looks like the girls in the ads who model all the designer maternity clothes..so not fair!)...we have lots to look forward to as our family grows. we can't wait to welcome Baby Girl "C" in March. She, Trey and Uncle Ryan will have Birthdays within a week of each other, thats a whole lotta "Pieces" around here! I"m really thankful that kristin and i will have our firstborn's almost exactly one year apart. Those cousins are gonna be fantastic buddies:::cause us momma's say so!
by the way: for those of you who have a difficult time seeing the pictures, you can click on any picture and it will enlarge.

Thanksgiving 2009

Good Morning!! It is a beautiful, cool day here and we are busy busy preparing for our Thanksgiving celebration. While Trey is napping, I took a moment to look at my favorite website. Their post for today just really struck a cord with me and i instantly had to sit down and share it with you all. Or really, just document how important this is so that my kids know and understand:
1. How lucky and blessed we are.
2. That even those that have so much less and fight for their lives on a daily basis still find ways/things to be Thankful for then we, too, should always find and give thanks for our blessings on a daily basis.
When you have a moment, I hope you will go to www.coolmompicks.com
and view their post for today, November 26th. Take the 2minutes and watch the video from the Central African Women speaking about what they are Thankful for....it sure puts our lives and thanks into perspective. And if you feel the "tug" as I do, to donate to the charity the cost of your Thanksgiving Dinner or even something as simple as how much it cost you to make that apple or pecan pie then please go with your heart and take the time to donate. May you and your families have a "Thankful" and "Grateful" Thanksgiving and to take time to realize how blessed we are.
xoxo
Alli(to my kids:love, Mommy)
