Uncle Adam and Aunt Tevy preparing the ham...Uncle Sam is a special one...
Aunt Maricia and Counsin Smith...he has his mom's smile
Aunt Mauvia and Cousin Eliza...what beautiful smiles they have
Cousin Brandon and his followers...Matt and Isaac
Cousin Ellie...she likes to make funny faces...she's soooo cute!

Beautiful Zoe Pearl...she's going to get baptized soon!

Today is was a lot of fun. It's great being around family and feeling their love and joy. We are so happy to know that families are forever! We are so grateful on this Thanksgiving day for the opportunity we have to be parents. It is a great blessing and we can't wait to raise Jacob in the gospel and be surrounded by our loving families. As a matter of fact, today would have been Jacob's original due date.

Hi there - Happy Holidays! It sounds like from previous posts, Jacob will have a great holiday this year filled with lots of family. I didn't realize that Thanskgiving was his original due date. Most micro preemies go home on their due date from the NICU, so he must have been the head of the class!

Hugs to all!
