What I'm Thankful For

So ModCloth is one of my favorite websites :-) and I was on there website the other day and saw a contest that If I post what I'm thankful for that there is a chance to win a $100 gift card for mentioning them in your post and putting this link : Thank-a-Thon contest
I thought it sounded like a pretty cool idea and I have a lot of things I'm thankful for :-)

There are so many things I could talk about that I'm thankful for... My family, my dog and my snake, having a house to live in, living in America... So many things, but I think I'll focus on my family.

My family is really awesome. I love them so much. Sometimes I get mad at them and sometimes I can't handle being around my little brothers all the time but on the whole, I really love them.
I have a relatively large family, I have my parents, one sister, three brothers, four grandparents, eight first cousins, numerous 2nd and 3rd cousins, lots of aunts and uncles and great aunts and great uncles, a brother-in-law a niece and a nephew. *Phew* Try saying that in one breath.....







Here's the most recent picture pf my immediate family.
Haha, as you can see we're not really the go into a photo studio, wear matching shirts, and have a photo shoot type family...
Behind the couch from the left- Me, Nathaniel (my brother)
On the couch from left- Adam (my brother in law) and he's holding Gage (my nephew), Then Heather (my sister) who is holding Rory (my niece), then my mom and Noah (my brother)
On the floor from the left- Samuel (my little brother) and my Dad

One of my most favorite things that we do as a family is have family picnics. We usually have them at my grandparents house in their back yard (because they have a large backyard). They live in Western Pennsylvania out by Pittsburgh. Most of my relatives live out there so that's why we have most of our picnics out there.
They are so much fun! We all get together and everyone brings food. In my family we have all kinds. Crazy people, older people, babies, single guys, single girls, married guys and girls... So when we all get together it is a fun time and a half. There's lots of jokes and laughing. We all sit around and gossip, or talk about old times... Another of my favorite things we do together is going camping :-) We go to a place called Clear Creek State Park. It's so fun, we all rent out cabins next to each other and spend the week with each other, goofing off, lighting fires, going for hikes, swimming... all sorts of things, it's so fun....




So anyway, I am majorly thankful for my family!! I love them and don't know what I'd do without them :-)




I love them





Talk to ya'll next time :-)
