Thankful.

We had a really great Thanksgiving this year. I love being able to spend time with family and friends. The break from school was so nice and much needed. We stayed up way too late just about every single night and now I'm hoping I can do some catching up on my sleep.

Over Thanksgiving weekend I finally saw The Help with some girlfriends. (I forced myself to hold off on seeing it until I finished the book. The books are always better.) Dave played football with his pals. We spent Thanksgiving with my family. I went Black Friday shopping for the first time ever, and we got some pretty cool stuff. We hung out with friends who were in town from out of state. And Dave and I hosted our first ever Thanksgiving potluck with friends. Great times!



I'm extremely thankful for many things in my life, but this year I am specifically thankful that Dave and I have a sweet, sweet, little family. And that we are always blessed with the things that are most important and that we need, not only so we can just make it through everyday life, but so we can enjoy it as well :) I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend!

First things first.

Blogging hasn't been on my list of priorities lately, so here's my attempt at bringing us back up to date! Halloween. We had an awesome Halloween this year. Dave and I attended our 4th annual Halloween party with friends. Always a good time. This year we did a Halloween picture scavenger hunt. And of course, our bobbing for apples contest......





I'm all about family themed costumes. Tacky, I know, but you can only do it for so long before your kids don't care to participate. This year Dave was a bee catcher. I was the Queen Bee. And Trey and Easton were our little bees. So much fun. We all experienced our first Trunk-or-treat which was fun, although, I still think trick-or-treating is way better.



Other than Halloween, we are just living the dream as of late. Busy with babies, school, and work. We are anticipating Thanksgiving, especially because after that Holiday, there are only 2 more weeks of school left! This is my last fall semester ever and I am beyond excited for it to be over. I registered for spring semester, my second to last semester, and it feels so good to almost be done! I don't think I've ever anticipated something as much as I am anticipating graduation. For both me AND Dave! We've been going to school since we've been married. I feel like this chapter of school is about to come to a close, and we're on the verge of a new chapter, which I'm very excited for.

As for Trey and Easton, there are as great as ever. Busy busy toddlers always getting into things, climbing on to things, and keeping me on my toes! My patience has been tested a lot lately, but I suppose it just goes along with the age. Every day they seem to learn something new which is so much fun to witness. They are truly the sweetest most loving little toddlers ever. They give me hugs and kisses all day long and it makes me so happy, and makes the few not so fun things about parenting totally worth it :)
