thankful for friends

How blessed we are to have such great friends. Since we've moved to Arkansas we have had 2 Thanksgivings all alone and one where Paul's family was in town. I was not looking forward to another Thanksgiving with just the 5 of us. Thanksgiving is just more to that to me. Growing up there was always so many people, so much food, football, games and talking. When it's just the 5 of us, it's not much different than a regular day except there is a really big mess to clean up! So, when Shanna invited us over for Thanksgiving I was so excited! I didn't want to be a big ol' dork though so I played it cool. :-P Anyway, we are so Thankful for them, and thank God that he put them in our lives. Here are some pics from our day...

Brady, sooo stinkin' cute!
Courtney pushing Brady around. (in the good way)
The 'I'm innocent' smile.
Paul brought his RC cars, a jump and a jealous time for James.
Even Shanna joined in the rc fun. (i think she secretly wants one)
Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving without football.
...cookies...
...and a T I R E D baby.

Angela: This is purely for you. I saw this and thought, "now, that is all Angela" :-)
