Thankful for...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone!!! SO many things to be thankful for this year and in the future :) We celebrated the Carter family thanksgiving last night with Jimmy's family and with my mom's family today, so it's been a great few days so far! Here are few things I'm thankful for:

My in-laws, particularly my mother in law, Sue, who always is so kind to host the entire family at her house every holiday and every year! Look at the beautiful set up last night-- and of course, there was delicious food and even better company!


(Jimmy in the left hand corner...always trying to get in the picture....)

The other table- there were about 24 I think for dinner in total! This was the kids table, but Jimmy sat there too. Kenlie is modeling next to it!


I'm incredibly thankful for THIS guy. Good old Jimmy. As much as I can complain about him and give him crap- he's just perfect for me and we make a great us. I'm lucky to have him, be married to him and live our lives together!! (PS This is Kenlie's photography!)


Oh, this is just a cute picture! I'm very thankful for Ben and Maren too :) So adorable!


But something that I never had experienced before getting married to Jimmy was being an aunt. And well, I'm obsessed. We have some awesome, adorable, and amazing nieces and nephews. Here is me with all the older ones last night- they are SOOO cute and I couldn't believe that they all just came over immediately to take this picture when Jimmy said "go stand by Aunt Brittany for a picture". I mean, way too easy, right? And look at those smiles!!



One really neat thing that my MIL does every year is make all the kids matching PJs and they wear them at the end of the night. It's hilarious because they are all matching! How cute are they?


And they were trying to take a pictures with Grana, but Maren was not having it. :)


And finally, as I mentioned in my last post, I'm thankful for my sister...but also very thankful for my wonderful parents! I didn't get any pictures at our lunch today at my grandparents, so this one is a great one!! My mom and dad and all their grand-dogs (and their 2 dogs) :) Hahahahaha! They are so awesome for always watching the dogs and loving them! But really, they are just a wonderful support system and SO fun to be around. Thankful for their guidance and more importantly, their friendship!


Ok and ONE more finally....I'm very thankful for all my great friends and friendships :) I wish we could all be together on this day of thanks, but I'm sending friend vibes your way. I cannot begin to tell you how much your friendship means to me!! LOVE YOU!!

Happy thanksgiving and ....happy black friday for those of you are going to battle the crowds! Jimmy and I are going to try to get some good deals!!
