Thanksgiving 2010

This thanksgiving we have so much to be thankful for. Well actually, every day we have so much to be thankful for. We started out this years thanksgiving enjoying a HUGE breakfast with the Mason family. After breakfast, we set the timer on the camera and got a group picture. Two of Don's sisters, Lanelle and Janice, joined us this year. We were happy to have them!

This is the best attempt we got at a picture of our family. The little ones (all four of them) were not really in the mood to smile for pictures this morning.

Jonathan, Angie, Kyler, Mya and Ava...

Me, Justin and Jaxon. Please ignore all 7 of my chins in this picture. I am not thankful for them!

Jax man tried his first bite of deer meat on Thanksgiving for lunch. He surprisingly really liked it!

We went over to my aunt Pat's for a little while to spend time with my family. Things were a little hectic over there because my Gravel fell coming up the steps. Everyone please pray that she is okay and that nothing serious happened when she fell.

Addi has gotten to where she loves smiling for pictures!

Baby Justice (mini Clint Gill) is getting so big!

We went to Justin's aunt Susie's for supper, but unfortunately by that point I was extremely tired and did not take any pictures. :(

Friday night we went over to my sister's for thanksgiving with the Henderson side of my family. We had a great meal and the kiddos played while the adults watched football.

At one point we looked over, and Addi and Jax were coming out of the playroom like this! It was hilarious!

Mammy and Addison (such a good picture).

Kacie and her baby boy.

More hugs for Jaxon from Addison.

The grandkids. Can't wait to add another one to the mix!

I have so much to be thankful for this thanksgiving.

I have a Savior who loves me enough to give His life for me.

I have an amazing husband and a beautiful little boy.

I have a healthy baby boy or girl growing in my belly.

I have a wonderful family.

I have some incredible friends.

I am blessed...

on thanksgiving, and every other day, as well.

The Beginning...

Justin and Kendra fell in love on their first date- May 13, 2005. Five months later he put a ring on her finger and asked her to be his wife. On May 20, 2006 they stood before their family and friends and said "I do," and God placed a blessing on their new lives together. Anniversary number one brought a big surprise and on February 24, 2008- Jaxon Thorpe Mason graced us with his amazing presence and we became a family. Almost three years later, God blessed us with our second son, Knox Holmes Mason, and we are more in love with Him, with each other and with our kiddos than we thought we could ever be...

The Daddy

Oh, him? Justin is not only the best Daddy in the world, but he's also the guy that holds the key to my heart. He loves me like no one has ever loved me, and like no one else will ever love me. Even though we drive each other crazy sometimes, we both know we're soul mates. Our love is real and we thank God for it. Justin is an amazing man of God, and the thing that I love most about him is the fact that he's real. His "boyish good looks" first caught my eye, but his love for the Lord won my heart. Well, that and his gorgeous smile!

The Mommy

If there's one thing I can do, it's love. And I do that as passionately and as crazy as I can. I view much of life through my camera lens, and I love being "just a stay-at home" mom and I'm thankful for my daily experiences with Jaxon and Knox. Every night, I look at my beautiful little boys and thank God for letting me be exhausted at the end of the day. Not only am I crazy in love with my sons, but I love my goofy husband so much that some days I feel like my heart will bust. I am loved by my Jesus, and every day with Him is sweeter than the day before. I thank Him every day for choosing me to be the love of Justin's life and the Mommy to sweet Jaxon and baby Knox.

The Big Brother Superhero.

Our boys are our life- and we are so thankful for our oldest son, Jaxon. He's one of the reasons that we wake up every day. He has shown us what really matters in life. He has an amazing personality and is one of the funniest little people that I have ever met. I'm not just saying that because I'm his mom. The boy REALLY IS FUNNY! He keeps us laughing. At five, he enjoys playing anything involving a ball, music, Spiderman & Batman and hanging out with his Baby Brother. He's hilarious, stubborn and loved beyond measure. He's my strength and our joy. Words can't express how proud we are of this big boy! His name means "God has been gracious," and God most certainly has!

The Little Brother Superhero.

We never knew how much love our hearts could actually hold, until we welcomed our second son into this world. Knox doubled the size of our hearts and made our lives so much brighter. He has the most beautiful big, brown eyes, and a smile that starts a chain reaction, because when you see it, you can't help but smile yourself. The child has a laugh that could melt the coldest of hearts. His big brother is crazy about him, and so are his Mommy and Daddy. He's never still, no not for a second. He loves to eat. He loves shoes. He loves Mickey Mouse, Toy Story & Cars, but he loves his Big Brother the most. Sweet baby Knox is our precious gift from God.
