It's almost impossible to define what exactly it is that makes this time of year so special ... but it is.
It's uniquely and wonderfully made - just like you and I.
It's never been about rushing here or there.
It's never been about putting self first.
It's never been a season in which there isn't a reason to give thanks and appreciation for life.
The delicious food.
The laughter.
The prayers of thanksgiving.
The willingness to serve, give, and love.
The songs.
The celebration of family.
The time just to {be}.
It's all that and more.
The tradition of singing and making a joyful noise with my family continues ...
and no matter what generation you find yourself in ... there is reason to give thanks.

It looks like the Thanksgiving Blessings were bountiful. If singing was involved in any of my family outings...it wouldn't look so pleasant. I'm envy that in other families. I like picking my pew at church based on proximity to wonderful singers. If they sing strong and loud, I can't hear myself. I can almost believe their song is my own. :-)
I think I was supposed to be in your family... I LOVE the pictures of everyone so engaged. :)
You captured the spirit of Thanksgiving so beautifully in these pictures ...... it's always great to spend time with family!!

Joyful song and Thankful hearts ~ it doesn't get much better than that!

How cool is that! Your family gatherings should have ticket prices for the public!
I can almost hear the singing. Everyone looks so happy. I love the picture of Mason. He looks so serene. Music is the best!!! What cherished memories.
