Kerr Thanksgiving Celebration

This year we celebrated two Thanksgiving Feasts with both sides of our families, flying to Texas and back and then driving to Dublin (and back).  The week may have felt a little crazy, but it was worth it.

After losing our dear Uncle Bob in October, the Kerr family decided to gather together the weekend before Thanksgiving for a full family meal together, like so many Thanksgivings in the past.  This brought back so many memories!  From both my childhood, young adulthood, and those first Thanksgivings when the children were small and we spent time with the Kerrs in Houston and Kingwood. I remember on those earlier (like 2013-2018) trips thinking "is this ever going to get easier???" (as we lugged double strollers and three massive car seats and multiple suitcases...while carrying small children on hips and in carriers) and I can report that IT DOES.  We had such an easy trip, with the kids taking care of themselves, carrying their own luggage, occupying themselves on the flight, etc. (Wesley did not actually carry his own booster seat, instead forcing a parent or sibling to haul it around the airport, but...third child...)

But back to this year - the whole Kerr crew were in attendance to celebrate the holiday, remember Uncle Bob and love on Aunt Judy. We had a GREAT time. The food was amazing, as always, and it was great to spend time with cousins (and have younger cousins spend time with the next generation of cousins).

Always great to spend some time with Grammy and Gran Gran, too :) Love this cute couple.

I also made sure to do some reenactments of previous photos whenever I could (or the family would allow me to).  Crazy to think these pictures are 10 years apart...he barely fits on my lap!!

What a beautiful way to start the Thanksgiving week...giving thanks for family!!
