Oh so thankful!

I love this time of year and especially the Thanksgiving holiday. Certainly, we have lots to be thankful for! Here are just a few of the simple things:

First of all, I am thankful for our health (despite the 3 week long post-disney-grunge virus that has spanned our family!)

I am thankful that this Thanksgiving, I hardly cooked a thing, except for Pumpkin Crisp! The ever-so easy & yummy, no-fail, crowd-pleaser. Check it out here.

I am thankful for great friends , especially long-distance ones, who take time for visits.
Thank you Trinh family for a wonderful visit last week!

I think Millie might have been taken against her will?!

Best buddies forever...

Isn't that great laughter?! Ansley adores Chloe.

More friend-thankfulness:

This is Harrison & Ansley together. He belongs to my oldest-best friend (time reference, not age!) and the two of them are only 5 days apart. Also, they are secretly betrothed! I can't remember what made Harrison sport his "pout-face", but I'm sure it was just more of the same 3-year-old drama that Ansley doses me with daily!

I am thankful for the leaves that fall and give my kiddos hours of fun.

love this action shot...

I am thankful for Ansley's beautiful curls.

I am thankful for Christian's newfound interest in photography. (& thankful for Erin's tips!)

I am thankful for babies. Love them, love them. Check out my newest baby love...The Cobb family brought a new baby into the neighborhood this week and I am so excited!

And this baby too...she will be so sharp-minded after eating all these ginkgo leaves!

She was shoving these leaves into her mouth faster than I could snap a photo...and chewing like they were candy!

Amelia is thankful for bath-time! When you start running the water she gets very impatient waiting to get in & play.

This is in no way an inclusive list, but just a little sampling of the good things life has to offer & be thankful for!
