Thanksgiving Festivities

I told you I love the holidays, but this year was special to us. We have been very blessed to have met Jared's biological father and family this year. It has been such an answer to prayer! Jared met them earlier this year and I got to meet them shortly after. We've gotten to know them pretty well in a short amount of time! Everyone deserves a good dad, and I'm so glad he got to finally meet his!
We started off Thanksgviging with the whole Nuelle clan on Sunday (this is not normal for us... dad went to Georgia this year so we had it early). That was a fun time with about 30 people in our house! Then we had Thanksgiving at noon with Jared's mom and granny and papa. This is always a good time with Granny's cooking! After that we headed home for a little bit and then went over to Jared's dad's brother's house for about an hour. We didn't eat because we were stuffed from granny's but it was nice to meet Kenny's parents and some other family. Then Friday night we went to my mom's house to have Thanksgiving with her and Kevin. Jared and Matt didn't arrive till late since they both had to work that night but it was still a fun time. We had ham so that was a nice change from turkey! Then the last Thanksgiving we had was Saturday at noon with the whole Herboth family in Altamont. My what a large family! Kenny's mom comes from a large family of something like 18 kids! Then she had 7 kids of her own I believe... Needless to say, we didn't meet everyone!
We are so thankful for this year's Thanksgiving and for all the wonderful family we have! It seems like our family just keeps growing and growing! You can never have too many people that love you! :) We truly have so much to be thankful for: all our family, each other, our new house, our puppy Cash, and both being blessed with jobs! I can't wait for Christmas! We plan on being a little bit more busy around Christmas, as I'm planning a short trip to Georgia to see some more family! Love it!
