Gobble Gobble Gobble!

Thanksgiving 2010
This year, Claire was old enough to love the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade-we cleared out all of the toys in our family room and she had quite the dance floor!
Griffin's 1st Thanksgiving! Next year he'll really get to enjoy all the fixings!
We were fortunate enough to have Mike, Patsy, Mama, and Jimmy come to our house to celebrate-we are so blessed to have healthy parents that live not too far away-Claire and Griffin were in heaven!
What better to do before a massive meal than run off lots of calories in the backyard with Claire-she loved "running fast" and telling me, "I'm gonna get you!" and playing in the leaves!
Who would have thought that both of the kiddos would be asleep at the same time, just in time for us to sit down and eat our meal-can I hear a big THANK YOU for that one?!
Even though we kind of threw everything together as to who was bringing what at the last minute, this was without a doubt one of the tastiest Thanksgivings we have had at our house. Jeff knocked the turkey and homemade bread out of the park and let's just say we have some mama's that can cook!! :)
I am incredibly thankful for so many things this year:

My wonderful husband whom I can't thank enough for staying at home these next few months with our babies and who loves me unconditionally, my sweet, smart, and imaginative little Claire and my adorable, cuddly, easy going baby Griffin. Our family feels so complete and just perfect. We are so blessed and live everyday knowing how good our God truly is.
Our family and friends-we couldn't get by without all of the love, support, laughter and fun they bring to our lives.
We are very thankful for my job, our home, and the ability to send Claire to a preschool that she loves where she grows and learns and has met wonderful friends and teachers.
