Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a very quite and calm event at the Tadlock house this year.
Kelly and Ben were in Tennessee and Michael and his beautiful bride, Courtney, spent the day with her family in Hattiesburg.
Mom set an extra place at the table and Dad placed a piece of paper on the empty plate with their names on it. It made me sad to see it.
That's the thing about big families - as they grows it gets harder and harder to all be together.

On the other hand, Thanksgiving at the Yount house was completely different! With six grandchildren six and under it doesn't take much to imagine what dinner was like! Let's see, there was Caitlin and Maddie in their matching hot pink leg warmers... Matthew putting his brother, Josh, "in jail" (???), Asher cruising along the edge of the coffee table and little Owen showing off his ability to sit up.... oh and one tiny, white kitty named Sassy desperately trying to hide from chubby little hands.... wow! Just recapping makes me tired!!!! Haha!

Even though both meals were complete polar opposites I had a wonderful time all day! I think having Owen in my life makes me so much more appreciative of my family. I mean, I've always loved them but I feel so deeply bonded to these two families now.

Ok.... I need a tissue now!
