Thanksgiving 2014 got here too quickly. Summer break feels like it was just yesterday.
Today we ate with James' Dad and family at the Holiday Inn in Little Rock. The food was fantastic. Lots and lots of turkey, ham, potatoes and stuffing. Samantha was thrilled with the fresh fruit and Rachel was thrilled with the pecan pie. Charlotte, Josephine and JMichael are all just happy with food in general. We don't have picky eaters at our house. I'm thankful for that.
We ate and then we took the scenic route home. We live about thirty minutes north of the big city, so we meandered home along beautiful country backroads. We took a pit stop at a little country church and the goof{Balls} let me do an impromptu photo shoot. I do love these goofy kids of mine.
The quintessential kids table - the BallTeam is usually pretty well behaved in public, but when they see Dad pointing a camera their way, the poses and faces come pouring out. I told Samantha that I would put this picture on the blog and one day her grandchildren would see it and she said, great! They will see their grandmother was awesome!

everyone smile!
This is the one that ended up on all their instagram accounts....Rachel added the text and posted it and then Samantha and Charlotte posted it on their accounts, too. I'm so grateful that they are a close knit group of siblings. They know how to push each others buttons and they look out for each other. We are truly blessed.
Very thankful for them, and for James and for all the blessings we enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving!
