{Celebrate} Thanksgiving

I hope you all enjoyed a day full of laugter, love, and delicious food! It was really awesome reading everyone's texts, Twitters and updates on Facebook for all that they were thankful. Here are a few that are near and dear to me...

Me: Thankful for an awesome night with friends last night, a day with family & friends today, & my cute little girl!

Cora: Love and thankful for my husband, our home, and our amazing baby girl. Life is seriously perfect!

My mom: Turkey's rubbed and ready for the oven, giblets are boiling on the stove, sale flyers are half read, football's on TV -- ahhhhhhh, it must be Thanksgiving! Happy Turkey day to all our friends and family and don't forget to count your blessings!!! Everyone has them -- sometimes you just have to look around for them! Love and peace to you all!

Kristi: Happy turkey day - I'm thankful for the love of my family n friends

Brian (my little brother): So t day with no bro and sis and kids. Just mom dad and a big turkey. First time in life the Avery family house isn't overcome with people. Should be intresting. Hope everyone has a great day. Oh and to the people that shop on Friday I hate you. Thanks for ruining my night tonight. Smiles

Isn't amazing how much Facebook, Twitter, and blogs can make us feel so much more connected and close. Especially on the holidays, when we wish we were all closer! Although I'm extremely blessed to have so many wonderful friends and in-laws in Southern California, I also get a little sad when I'm not with the Avery Family in Washington state during the holidays. The holidays were always such a big deal growing up and I long for them still as an adult. However, my favorite holiday is Christmas and I will be back home with Dan & Brooklyn this year. We can't wait and are counting the days.

In the spirit of gratefulness, I want to take this opportunity to thank every client, friend, and family member that has supported and encouraged me on this photography journey. I can't believe that this is the 3rd holiday season that I will be capturing the same families. It is so special playing a part in each of your lives. Thank you for your loyalty!

And from the Ford family session yesterday, here's a little fall fun & colors for the holiday!
