book of thankfulness

i started this thanksgiving book the first thanksgiving that camille (our first-born) was at home with us.

she just turned 9 so this makes our little family book 9 years old this year.

(i question my color choices back then...oh well :)

 this was cami's first hand print in our book.

this was when cari made her first appearance.

this was the year we lived in colorado and cari had a "mummy hand" after her first visit to the er. 

(good times)

 this was the following year back in texas.

our first trip to the sweet berry farm.

every year we list things we are thankful for throughout the year and 

it is so fun to look back and see all that God has done for us. 

challenges we faced many years ago seem so little, 

but were big to us at the time.

 and this leads me to 2009 - 2011...ooops!

this is a result of life getting busy and me starting to work ;)

i don't want to ever lose my focus and attitude of thankfulness.

we will get caught up because i plan on handing over some of the responsibility 

of decorating these pages to my eager girls.

i look forward to many more pages filled with all that we are thankful for.
