Thanksgiving

Elise-age 4 (almost 5!), Link- age 3, Erin-age 16 mos, Mia-age 11 mos

 Stevens Thankgivings are packed full of babies again!  Between my 2, Lacy's and Nick's--and now one on the way for Micah to join us next year--we've got babies again.  Before Elise was born, Lydia was the baby.  Lydia turned 16 this year.  Craziness. 

 Speaking of craziness, I can remember how exciting and wonderful it was to pack Nan and Pop's house full of family each year at Thanksgiving.  It was such a great time of year--and Thanksgiving reigned as my favorite holiday for a very long time.  All the fun of family togetherness without all the stress of presents (this was of course my thought process as an adult--as a kid: bring on the presents :))

It is such a blessing to me to be able to show these little babies how much fun a big family can be!

Our kids are blessed with big families on both sides--the Jacksons are a huge family, too!  Their "main event" is at Christmas--and hopefully I'll remember to charge my camera (I meant to take pics at the Jackson Thanksgiving of Elise, Erin, Jack, and Claire this year, but the camera died!)
