Happy Thanksgiving!!
This year I am especially thankful for my family.
I am so blessed. I have been blessed, not with one, but with TWO loving families. I hope that we can always stay close, and always remember the families need to stick together.
We need each other.
I am blessed with a husband that loves me-- even after all this time, he sees my ugly side and still just loves me. I am blessed with a beautiful, sweet, crazy daughter that I cannot get enough of. Words cannot express how grateful I am to be her mommy. She is the love of my life.
I also want to say that I am thankful for my trials.. I know that at times, I feel so overwhelmed and confused, not sure where life is going to take my family. Sometimes it feels like every other day there is a new trial to conquer. I think it is really hard to feel thankful for you trials in life, but I am thankful because I know that when I step back and look at the bigger picture that these trials will pass and I will have learned from them. Sometimes I just have to tell myself to calm down and breathe, and then I realize that my trials really aren't so bad. I know that they make me stronger, and for that I am thankful.
We spent Thanksgiving this year at my mom's home. I didn't have a memory card in my camera-- FAIL-- so I didn't get any pictures from that night, but it was a good night.
Maelee and Graeson played together all night long. Maelee adores him.
I loved growing up and being so close with my cousins and I am thankful that Maelee will get to do the same with her cousins.
Thanks mom for a great Thanksgiving.
We are all thankful for YOU!!
Tracy, James, and Parker came in also.
They did a bunch of fun things while they were here.
One night the girls went to see the last Twilight movie.
I am kind of over Twilight, have been for a while, but I actually really like this movie!
The best one in my opinion!
Here is our candid Thanksgiving evening.
I am thankful for each and every one of you!

I love Maelee's leggings. I just got some for my niece for Christmas! So happy to see that they are absolutely as adorable as I pictured. So, here is how differently boys and girls are-Bodee weighs as much as Maelee and falls only in the 17th percentile. I asked the Dr, "Geez, how big do they want my kid to be?" LOL. SO happy you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know first hand, most like everyone, that trials can seem nearly impossible to overcome. However, once the trial has passed and we are able to take a look back somehow it doesn't seem that hard after the fact. Almost always it is a life lesson that we could not have learned without much trial. :)
