Collin's 1st Thanksgiving

Collin got to celebrate his first Thanksgiving today! After he ate breakfast we packed up the car and headed down to Papa's house for Thanksgiving dinner. We met Aunt Brittany, Uncle Jon, and of course Papa there and cooked a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. Collin played the whole time and then sat with us at the dinner table and watched Baby Einstein while we ate together. Thank goodness for the Baby Bach DVD! It was definitely a hard Thanksgiving without Nana there with us, but we know she was looking down on us from heaven smiling at how well everyone is getting along. We have all made it a top priority to remain close and keep things exactly as she would have wanted. We love you Nana and miss you so much!

Although our family has gone through more than is imaginable this year, we have so much to be thankful for. Here is just a small portion of what we are so grateful to our Father for blessing us with:
-God's grace
-A happy, healthy, and precious son
-Financial secruity during this tough economic time and that Brooke can stay home and be with Collin
-A family that will drop anything to be there for us
-Good health (besides nursing a broken ankle:))

God has blessed our family so much this year!
