Thankful.

David and I are so blessed to spend the time with our family and friends that we do. We make great efforts to see them all as much as possible, and feel so lucky to be able to see them often - especially our family. Thanksgiving was no exception - we got to see most of our family and many friends!

Our Thanksgiving holidays began with scooping up Christen from the airport on our way to Hawkinsville. Amy met us at the Watson's, and we snapped a pic - there are literally hundreds of us three over our 20 years....we definitely needed just one more! :)

We got to see Christen's whole family too, which was wonderful!

After a delicious and fun family time at my Aunt D's for Thanksgiving lunch, David and I headed to Lake Blackshear for time with the Griffins. We spent Thursday night with Pammy and Pop before enjoying another delicious Thanksgiving lunch on Friday once Amanda and Ben arrived. David, Ben, and Pop got in some good fishing time while we were there too!

On Friday night, I travelled with my parents and sibs to (what would be Asa's last game) Newnan to see Asa play in the State Playoffs. It was cold and windy! The game was such a sad loss, and none of us wanted to think that it was "over." Asa played a great game though, and I was so proud to be there for it!

On Saturday night of the break, my party-planning sister Abbye hosted the annual Coody Cabin Classic. It was so fun! There was great live music, good food, and even better company to visit with. We took the opportunity to snap a few Coody-Childers cousin pics while there! 

And some couples shots in front of the tree too!

These are my first cousins Taylor, Claire, Ben, and Adam

And of course you know these faces ;)

New sister addition!

Later, on Sunday evening, we surprised my Dad with an early 60th birthday party at the cabin! Mom totally pulled it off and he was completely caught off guard! 

It was a great night, and Dad's best buds were there along with the fam!

I made this fun birthday collage to commemorate the night:

Mom grabbed some de-lish cookies from my friend Linsey's booth at the Mistletoe Market - Two Crazy Cookies. Mom and Abs worked so hard to decorate the cabin early for Christmas too...really had us all in the spirit! We are all so thankful for family, and especially my Mom - she makes everything special! We all loved celebrating my awesome Dad - 60 is a big year for him! He's going to become a grandfather, his 3rd child will be graduating from college, his second child will be getting married, and his baby will be graduating from highschool! We are blessed, indeed!

Hope you all had a safe and happy Thanksgiving with lots of family time!
