Thanksgiving 2016 and Grandma Bertie

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving out at Grandma Bertie's this year.  I am truly thankful for that because just a couple weeks after we celebrated Gma Bertie passed away.  I've been putting this post off for a while since it's still so fresh, but we were able to celebrate her life last week and it was a day full of laughter and memories.  This picture of all of us is just a portion of her legacy...6 kids, 13 grandkids, 6 great-grandkids (so far) and a life truly well lived.  She was a wonderful, faithful woman and she will definitely be missed by many.

















We spent most of the Thanksgiving day out on the farm, and the kids had lots of fun running around even though it was pretty chilly outside.





Dave, Caleb, and Sophie.

I love Dave and Sophie's friendship!

Brooklyn was less than thrilled with Josh the entire trip.














She loves her Aunt Mel though.  :)

So it was a great day of hanging with family, and I'm so glad for it!  Bertie was a very special lady and her legacy of faith and family lives on.
