Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it gives you the opportunity to remember what you are grateful about in life. Without sounding like a cornball, I honestly think my whole life is something to be grateful about. I have a wonderful, loving family, amazing friends and have the opportunity to go to an amazing school and get an education. There is a lot to smile about :)

 This year I went over to my Aunt Becky's house and we gorged ourselves on turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean salad, all of our traditional favorites...even my #1 must have: pumpkin pie! My favorite thing is always visiting with my family and catching up with them. I loved taking silly pictures of Sophie and Willy on my Ipad :) That's their new favorite toy! Willy is completely obsessed :) Pretty much everytime I come visit he asks me to bring "my ipod" hahaha to him they are the same thing. Sophie drew me the cutest pictures too that I hung up all over my room. She loves to do creative projects and make pictures for me. She ruined Aunt Becky's table with permanent marker but sometimes artists just have to do their thing I guess...furniture be damned! hahahaha just kidding.

One of my favorite Thanksgiving memories is from about 4 years ago. Sophia was only 2 and just learning how to get potty trained but wasn't comfortable using the bathroom yet. She was trying to grasp it but especially not at her own house she didn't like going in the bathroom. So Jen strapped a diaper on her so she could use it and sorry to be graphic but that diaper was GIGANTIC hahahaha I still have pictures and Sophia dancing around in her huge diaper that crack me up everytime I see them. My family, we like to gossip, drink cocktails, eat yummy food and watch our favorite traditional movies like "Charlie Brown Thanksgiving." What do you have to be thankful for this year?
Love Always,
