Thanksgiving in North Carolina

Our hearts are full of thanks for so many things. Our faith, our families, our good health, good friends, and so many more things to mention.
This Thanksgiving we are thankful to be able to be with the Foss family except for 1 sister Kathe and her son Sean (we missed them) so much fun to see cousins playing with cousins, grandkids loving on grandparents and great grandkids spending time with their great grandma.

A big thank you to Ashley and Brian for hosting us all for Thanksgiving dinner. A pregnant woman with twins shouldn't have been doing all that work. It was so nice for us all. Cant wait to meet those babies!

May God bless me with my grandmother's looks! The sweetest woman in the world, my Grandma Boyd. We were welcomed with Boydies famous cookies and banana bread.

Logan never misses a meal. That comes from his Fathers side!

Kids did artwork at the Thanksgiving table. Great idea Ashley. Loved seeing and reading what they all did.
Our Texas Longhorn crew. So cool to spend so much time with Colby.

Our family tradition has always been to have the kitchen counters filled with all bake goods for the holidays. Larson was loving the kitchen counters at Grandma Pats house and we would see him there quite often.

Aunt Jackie was so good to the kids. She played with them tons, got them a tent, and had the boys spend the night at her house. She always had them repeating "best Aunt Ever".

These next few pictures are just precious to me.

Charlene was the official Turkey carver, Jackie is just our official turkey since it is her birthday! Ashley was definitely the official chef. So much food and so very very yummy.

We found a really good playground in Ash and Brians neighborhood. Oddly enough, before moving to Texas, Tom had accepted a job in NC and this was the neighborhood where we probably would have moved into.


Love these girls!

You know how they say that dogs and their owners look alike?

Snuggle Time! Doesn't get better than this.

Family Fun Time

Very Funny Entertainment!!
Jordan playing tennis for the first time!

Brian took all the kids except for Logan to play tennis. My kids all loved it and now want to play. Brian turned a normal game into a home run derby game which they all seemed to like more!
Jordan was cracking us up. So pleased with herself if the ball hit her racket and you could hear her squeal in delight if it went over the net.


Aunt Jackie helped set up camp for the kids. They love being at the "Farm". They want to know why our yard is not like this. Theirs is about 12 acres more than ours. That's why!!!


I love this man. Thanks for agreeing with short notice to pick the family up and go on a little adventure. OK a 4, 000 mile adventure.

We heard that Papa worked hard on getting his tables set up when he knew we were coming. Larson is the master engineer. What a treat for the boys. We know how much Papa loves his trains!
What an incredible Thanksgiving! My heart is full!
