Thanksgiving

I think Thanksgiving is a great Holiday, mainly because it is so simple. You spend the day with your family, eat great food (lots of it), and remember the things you are grateful for. There is no "hustle and bustle" to it or any stress. It's nice. We spent Thanksgiving with both of our families. This year I'd like to share with everyone what I'm grateful for... in no particular order :)


David. He is an amazing husband to me and the best daddy ever. He goes to school, works, and at the end of the day he is more than helpful with the babies. What a great guy.


Trey and Easton. They are the cutest ever. I couldn't have ever imagined how much I would love being a mom. They make us laugh and smile every day and are the greatest blessing in our lives.


The ability to have children. What a blessing.


Our families. Dave and I both have great families who we love to be with.


Our Moms. They do so much for us. Between the two of them... Trey and Easton experience something along the lines of Christmas several days a week.


Our friends. We have the greatest group of friends who we love hanging out with.


My girlfriends. I have been friends with the majority of them since elementary and middle school. Even though I don't see some as often as I did once upon a time I'm grateful for the lasting friendships :)

Alta Pines. I could moan and groan about Alta Pines any given day. But when it comes down to it I'm very glad that we have the rare opportunity to live somewhere rent free and so close to Dave's family. Basically next door :)


School. I could moan and groan about school as well. But it's great that we are both able to get an education and that one day we will be able to say we are college graduates! That's an accomplishment!


That Dave is able to provide for our little family. I had no idea I would ever think being a stay at home mom is so important. I Love it.


My body. Sometimes I'm capable of picking it apart. But it's fully functioning and healthy as can be! When it comes down to it, isn't that all anyone really wants out of a body???



On another note... I have never been shopping on Black Friday. Am I crazy? Everyone thinks I am, but I love my sleep too dang much. And... I feel like there's never anything I want to buy that would actually be on sale! So if clothes and sectionals are included in the amazing deals going on, let me know. Those are pretty much the only things I'd care to wake up at 5:00 in the morning for :) Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!




Our first Thanksgiving as a family!
