Thankful Thursday–The Post-Christmas Edition

Family Life

2 Jan

My apologies to those who came looking for a link-up last week! Christmas, family, movies, etc. just got in the way of blogging for me. 😉

I do have lots to share with you now though! (And I hope you’ll link up posts from last week as well as this week if you’d like to.)

We are almost at the end of a two-week visit with my parents, and besides the traditional Christmas activities, we’ve had fun together. So, my thankful list this week is in pictures.

I am grateful for

Requests from my youngest to use the camera to capture beauty

 

 

Emily now takes better pictures than I do! Which is fine with me. I’m very thankful for the different interest areas in which my girls are excelling.

I hope you can find things, large and small, to be thankful for today. May God bless this new year for you and your family.

    I love all of your photos and am so glad that you had such a beautiful Christmas with your family! The fire photos are stunning; tell your daughter that she did an awesome job in taking them! 🙂 I don’t see a place to link up, but I’ll be sure to check back. I wrote a post, basically summarizing up the year and everything that I want to be sure to thank God for in 2013. 🙂 Happy New Year, friend! May God bless your family abundantly.

      Yes, I should. It’s nice now that when we go places I can just hand the camera to her and make her our archivist!

      We enjoy fires more often in the snow than we do in the warmer months! I’ll tell Hannah what you said. 🙂
