More Stuffed Than a Turkey!

Thanksgiving is always a stomach hurting kind of day.  Mine and Lesh's family both live within 5 minutes of eachother and we have to celebrate with both families.  Lunch or late lunch is done with my In-loves, and dinner is done with my parents and extended family. 

Yesterday was no different.  I think we ate in no particular order- roasted turkey, potato casserole, sweet potato balls, green bean casserole, croissant rolls, pecan pumpkin crumble, cherry cobbler, crustless pumkin pie... this was all Thanksgiving numero uno!  Then we had- spicy fried turkey, mashed potatoes, spicy green spaghetti, yams, ham, sweet potato casserole, strawberry jello pie, flan, oh and dinner rolls... this was Thanksgiving numero dos! 

On the way home last night Lesh and I were more stuffed than a turkey!!  Besides the food we had a great time with family!  I am so thankful to God that he blessed us with two sets of God fearing families who taught us how to worship him and live for him.  We are thankful that God gave us a sweet little boy named Nathaniel who we pray will choose to follow Jesus.  We are thankful that we live in a wonderful home and that God provides for us in every way possible.  We are greatly blessed!  I pray you all had a blessed Thanksgiving!  Here are pictures of Nathaniel's first Thanksgiving.

My brother and Zenia with Azriel. Josiah only 1 month old was still sleeping.


And of course my sweet baby boy on the horsie my mom got for her grandkids when they come over!  He absolutely loved this! He would rock himself back and forth.


My cousins Justin, Jennifer, and Joel
This was a great picture of the 3 of them.  Justin and Joel are in the army and don't live in town so this was a great reunion for them!


Here is the whole family on my mom's side.  We had a great time and it was so fun to see all of us cousins with children now, true blessings for each of us.


Here we are again so stuffed!
Blessings to everyone!
