This time close to home - at Mom's.
We pretty much all get together for Sunday lunch every Sunday after church.
This Sunday we simply celebrated with a Thanksgiving dinner and my birthday!
I wanted a picture of myself with the little cousins, Joe & Jake.
I'm obviously not "picture worthy" for Jake.
He seriously freaked out and cried!
Oh well...fickle men!
Here is Joe & me.
He is precious!
Those kiddos gave me some fantastic gifts!Seriously I collect a particular yellow pottery made by a local potter.
Here is a post I did earlier this year from Ashley Wren's Overlooked project regarding said collection.
Jake gave me a set of six napkin rings and Joe gave me a cute little toothpick holder...both were items I needed!
I was stoked about receiving such great gifts with so much thought.
I could actually list every single gift I received and say the same thing.
I am so blessed to be surrounded by such awesome family & friends.
I'm blessed and sometimes I wonder if I'm worthy of such generosity & love!
Anyway....on to the TG#3 pics:
Another Matt & Alex photo.
Aren't they adorable???My Aunt Kathi (who just celebrated her birthday) and Uncle Robert or "Ra-Ra" as I called him when I was a little girl, prior to the feast.
Mom & Joe acting like a couple of clowns!
And here's my fave of the day: 
I am thinking Joe is loving Aunt "Khacki's" mashed 'taters! :)Here is a little "post-Thanksgiving meal photo.
We've all been there Robert!I captured the elusive Jake while he was playing.
Check out the new "ink" we put on his forearm.
He's a rockstar ya know.
All-in-all it was a fantastic ending to a Thanksgiving holiday.
I have so much to be thankful for. Check out the new "ink" we put on his forearm.
He's a rockstar ya know.
All-in-all it was a fantastic ending to a Thanksgiving holiday. I thought it only fair to post another picture of Nutmeg getting (or giving, whichever way you look at it) some love from her new Mommy, Joyce!
How precious is that???And I would be remiss if I didn't post a picture of Schatzi.
Schatzi is Meg's "big brother".
Schatzi is a rescued long hair dachshund that Joyce adopted several years ago.
He is so sweet & loves the camera I might add!
He was abused at one time, but is now living heaven on earth!
What a great day it has been. I've had so many phone calls, emails, Facebook messages and cards wishing me a Happy Birthday. I love birthdays...even though I'm facing exactly one year until....ssssshhhhhhh the big 4-0. ugh.I've also taken a couple of photos and have some thoughts for my December 1 daily for little album.
good times....good times!

Wow You take incredible photos.
Looks like such a good time, i wish I was there....
Gosh - I tried to read your new post 3 times today and something would always happen and I'd get distracted...until now! Great post, pictures and darn it Happy Belated birthday! (I hope I didn't already post that under your earlier post becuase that would be dorky, but if I did then happy birthday twice!! I hope you had a great day. Are you still doing those daily blessings? I love those - in fact I need to post a new simple pleasure...or anything really. I haven't blogged for over a week.
PS) Apparently I can't spell the word 'because'.
