*Shock* And *Awe* {Thanksgiving And Joy}

We had a fun filled family morning at a local farm/petting zoo/orchard (pictures to come) and came home exhausted! Imagine our surprise upon waking from napping to find that Santa the very generous Granny of the East had gifted us with two HUGE bags of NEW fall clothes for the girls! Without going into details, let's just say that this was a HUGE answer to prayer and an awesome encouragement!!! The clothes are fabulous--there was even a set of Princess PJ's for Amelie girl that we had seen a few days ago and told her we couldn't afford to buy that Granny had found and bought for us! We're so thankful to be surrounded by such loving and supportive parents!

That is such a blessing. Don't you love it when parents come through for you like that? Like a few weeks ago when mom was like, "I think I might pay off your student loans." HELLLLOOOOOO!

It is wonderful to have parents like that. Without them my kids would be naked and have no activities:) We Love the grandparents here!

AWESOME!! I must say that we too are blessed that way. My MIL and SIL often run out and get the Princess a bag-full-o-clothes!!(MIL more often, although I suspect one coming from SIL because she missed Baby Girl's b-day and feels bad!!)
We got a bag for summertime from MIL and will probably be getting cooler weather things soon!!
I never really expect them and go make my own purchases, then she ends up with a very nice BIG wardrobe!!
She(we) is(are) definitely blessed in that department(among others!)
