Thanksgiving time...

I am capturing as many photos of me and my grandma as I can..she is not doing well. I have always been extremely close to her and the alteimzers is sitting in... I think it really hit me when she did not know many of our family members that we saw on thanksgiving...

So this year for some reason I was not in the photo taking mood for thanksgiving, I did not take any photos, just a couple of Emma and one with my grandma Weber. Thanksgiving is usually a busy time for us, but also a great time because we see so much of family. Thursday we went to the Weber side in Powell at my Aunt and Uncles house and saw about 30 family members. We do this every year and I am blessed to have so many great aunts and uncles still living and active. Then we had to get Emma a nap, so Brad and I took her in the car, and ventured a couple miles down the road to my stept-mom's side of the family so I could say hello to all of them. We are lucky that they live like 5 minutes from each other..Emma fell asleep in the car so Brad stayed in the car while I visited. Then it was off to Galena for the evening to visit with Brad's dad side of the family, 35 people. We always enjoy visiting with them and playing euchre after the meal. Then on Saturday, we went over to Dad and Holly's house and had a turkey meal just with my immediate family for lunch, and then headed to Dublin to Brad's mom side of the family to eat with her sister and son's family. I was turkeyed out!! I do love thanksgiving for so many reasons, but especially because we get to see so many relatives.

My little squirt is just growing up before my eyes... it is also very frightening to me how much she looks like me and my pictures when I was little. She is definantly Brad and I's blessing and I thank God for her everyday.

I did think she looked awful cute in her thanksgiving day outfit, and before we left, she said, mommy aren't you going to take a picture of me? Of course she had to pose...she is a character. I hope she keeps her outgoing personality.
