Thanksgiving

Now that Christmas is only a couple of weeks away, I thought I had better share our Thanksgiving stories now. We had a fabulous Thanksgiving this year. We spent it at the Halladay's and we were so happy that our entire family was there! Even our Idaho nieces joined us and we even had a couple friends join us as well- Becca and her son Cole. What a blessing it is to be surrounded by family and friends and to enjoy and share a FABULOUS meal together. I have to say, my mother and father-in-law sure know how to throw a party! We had quite the spread.


Here is my man enjoying some delicious Pumpkin Pie. I have never been a fan of pumpkin pie growing up, but I sure do love my father-in-laws special pie! How hot is my husband? I just love him.


One of the best moments of the day was the music portion. Our niece got a guitar for her birthday last month and she brought it down to show everyone. She even played a couple songs for us and she did an awesome job! She will be a rock star in no time. Kim wanted Uncle Scott to show all the girls a few songs as well and it was so cute. All the nieces just gathered around him without anyone prompting them or asking them to or anything. They LOVED it. There was singing and humming and even some dancing! I have the funniest video of little Lexi-pie dancing around like crazy but it was too big to load. I was very disappointed.


Grandma joined in on the fun as well :)



We spent Friday with my family who took us to see the new Harry Potter movie! Let me just say- they waited WAAAAAY too long to get these out, but I liked it anyway. Afterwards we ate out at Five Guy's- if you haven't been there, it is seriously the best hamburger I've ever had (besides the ones we make at home). I love spending time with my siblings and my parents, we always have a blast and laugh so hard. Thanks for spoiling us and taking us out mom and dad!


I have so much to be thankful for in my life! I have the best husband who is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without him. I have the best family with parents who love us and help out all the time. I have such great brothers and a sister-in-law who I love to spend time with. My sister Boots is my ultimate best friend and I love her more than she knows. I am thankful to have such awesome in-laws. A lot of people complain about their in-laws, but you know what... I love mine so much and I am blessed to be a part of their family. I am thankful for my job and the opportunity I have to go to school. I am thankful for this beautiful country and all the blessings that comes with that. And I am so thankful for all my friends (who I rarely get to see or speak with anymore) but I love them all just the same and am thankful for their friendship.


I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
