I feel like we’ve already celebrated Thanksgiving. This past Sunday, we had the blessing of seeing our oldest son baptized, and we also dedicated our babies during the service. Afterwards, our friends and family came over for lunch. It made me really happy to see our home filled with people who have been so important to our family. It was a great day, celebrating a lot of answered prayers.
I’m taking the rest of the week off, but I hope you have a restful, wonderful Thanksgiving!
Such wonderful pictures, you family is lovely and what a day of Blessings. Happy Thanksgiving. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing. Love those drapes.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Photos! I hope mine turn out as great someday!
ReplyDeleteLove love love this post for so many reasons. What a wonderful blessing to celebrate two such special events in your family's life. Just noticed two things:
ReplyDelete1. What happened to hubby's arm???
2. Sawyer looks just like your younger daughter and Annie Gray looks just like your older daughter.
Happy Thanksgiving!
You are the first person to ever say Sawyer and Caroline look alike :)
DeleteOh, and he had wrist surgery last week.
You have such a beautiful family Emily!

Congrats on your son's baptism and your twins dedication! Is "congrats" the right word to use for that? Whatever. I'm sure you get what I mean.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it such an awesome blessing to have family? Truely something to be grateful for.
Your husband broke his arm?? Did I miss a post about that? :)
No, you didn't miss anything :) He had wrist surgery last week to fix an old injury. He didn't fall off a ladder hanging one of my lights or anything like that...
DeleteYour family is beautiful. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSo awesome to see "real" living in the house we see photos of all the time. Looks even more amazing with everyone in it, enjoying your space and each other. Congrats! Happy Holidays and enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day Emily! Beautiful photos, beautiful family...so sweet. Congratulations on your son's baptism and your sweet family.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Congratulations on your son's baptism and the twins dedication! You have such a beautiful family, Emily! Like yourselves, we are a family of seven (w/2 boys & 3 girls). We enjoy the whole "BIG" family thing, though it may not seem like that all the time :) It is definitely never dull or quiet around the house. I'm sure you know what I mean ;) But it is especially nice during the holidays. To be surrounded by those you love and who love you right back, so much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteEmily , you certainly have a beautiful family and what a wonderful gathering. You are blessed! Have a wonderful holiday.

ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see your home being used! Sometimes I think we forget the point of a beautiful, useful home is to make it lovely for the people and friends who inhabit it. Have a Happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

I was wondering where you got the rug in your family room? I can catch a glimpse of it in one of the pics, and it looks exactly like what I need... if you don't mind sharing, I would appreciate it... thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving from my house to yours!
Thank you, Selena.
