I was supposed to work today, but my friend Traci called on Tuesday and offered to work for me. I was very excited to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my family, especially since I had to work it last year too! We started the day at the "Carrothers" family Thanksgiving, which includes my Grandma Wise's and all of her sisters' families. We have grown smaller over the years as my Grandma and some of her sisters have passed away and our families are growing, marrying and having to share our time other places. I only took a few pictures because I just wasn't in the mood to be behind the camera today.
Above are a couple of my Grandma Wise's sisters, Thelma and June.
How precious are these three little ones, looking at the crosses on the table above.
We always do a prayer circle prior to dinner and we count off to see how many people were able to make it. This year I believe that our count was 39.
We always have lunch at noon, so Austin and I had a little bit to eat before heading out to Austin's family Thanksgiving at Grandpa and Grandma Reames house. I didn't take any more pictures, but we had a great time at our two Thanksgivings and we feel very blessed to have such great family to spend the holiday with!
oh thanks for posting those pics. I miss our prayer circle and miss this side of the family so much. We just couldn't make it everywhere in our short Thanksgiving road trip. What a wonderful pic of June and Thelma!
