Thanksgiving

Of all the things I am grateful of, Family is always top of mind when it comes to a "Thankful list."  While they have always been on top of that list, they have become even more important over the last few years as I have lived outside of my parents home.  Now that i am not in constant contact with them, I realize how much I have learned from them and how the person I am today is due greatly to what I have learned from each of them.  Each member of my family, Jergensen and Heiner side, has special talents and gifts and i love the bond we all have.  I was lucky to be able to have the Jergensen side of the family come visit for a week over their Thanksgiving break to be with me and Colby.  It was such a great, memorable week.  Yes, I will never forget the image of wall to wall mattresses in our extra room with 3 people piled on top, the cold showers I would take because our little water heater wasn't made to heat water for 8 showers, or trying to create a table that would seat all 8 of us for our Thanksgiving feast, but most importantly, I won't forget the conversations we had, the laughs we shared and relationships we built upon.  Thanks, family, for a great week.  Can't wait for  you to come back someday!

Here is a photo story of what we spent our time doing. 

We did a lot of eating... a little exercising...

Happy Birthday Nathan.  You made it just in time so we could all celebrate the special day together!

Bowling was a blast.  The below picture shows a true image of "like mother, like daughter." Identical bowls from form to final shot.  Unfortunately it was a gutter for both. Pretty funny though.

What is a visit to Arkansas without the Walmart tour? 

Lindsey and I had some fun experimenting with the camera.  See my favorites on my new photography blog, katieheinerphotography.blogspot.com

Family--It was a blast having you here.  Hope to see you sooner rather than later.  Love you all. xoxo.
