LOTS to be thankful for! I think there is an apostrophe to make it possessive... like Claire's restaurant, but Chili's. Perhaps Chili was a person? Otherwise they may be using the semi-acceptable use of an apostrophe to make acronyms or dates plural (both Cds and CD's is acceptable, both 1990s and 1990's is too...). Best guesses!
Hey, I just found your blog from Rachel's. Rachel was in my youth group way back when. My dad was the Arnold family's pastor.
Anyway, your family is just precious. God has called you to be a minister/mother to many. May His grace be all over you as you are in this transition phase with your newest blessing.
