30 Days of Thankfulness - Day 5: My Extended Family

Today I am thankful for my ENTIRE family.  When I stop and think about it - I have a HUGE family and I am thankful for each and every one of them.  I have six grandparents.  Pop-Pop & Grandma - Grandpa & Grandma Shirley - Grandma Gray & Papa (I miss both of them terribly). I have aunts, uncles, cousins galore!  I also have wonderful in-laws from my hubby's family (lets face it, his sisters were sisters before we even started dating... and I hold them (and my BFF) responsible for Tim & I even happening). Finally, when my sister got married in January I inherited yet another part of my family - a brother-in-law, his sons, and his family. 

Some of my most favorite memories include members of my extended family, from childhood, teenage years, and into my adulthood.  Each member is different and special to me - yet we all have at least one thing in common.  I love each of them in their own way and I am thankful that each of them has a part in my life.




Trying something a little different with the pictures today - I hope it works.  I tried to get everyone in at least one picture but there are sooooo many people that I'm sure I probably didn't get them all.  If you're not in here, it's not because I love you less but because I haven't seen you recently to take pics or I forgot my camera!  I love you all and I thank God for placing each of you in my life. :)
