Thanksgiving Weekend!

Harper had a great first Thanksgiving! She turned 8 weeks on Thanksgiving and that night slept 9 1/2 hours straight! Wowza! On Thursday we went to my Mom's side where we had close to 70 people! We meet in a church fellowship hall to fit everyone! It was my nephew Cameron's first Thanksgiving too but he got to try all the foods! Yum!! He loved it all!  And of course here are the crazy pictures that took place...

Whitney - her baby Uggs fit!!! so stinking cute!

10 months apart- Harper and Cameron

cousins - the best I could get! Harper 8 wks, Cameron 10 mo, Colby 2 1/2yrs

Friday Brian got off work early and we went downtown with Harper and our friends and sister's kids to see the Lighting of the Christmas Tree in Triangle Park. It was super fun and Harper did great! But the best part of the night was the ride home with Jordan, Nick, Amanda, Harper, and us. TOO funny. :)

On Saturday we went to Thanksgiving with Brian's grandparents and cousins!

seriously, how precious is this?!?! she spit out her paci because she was smiling so big for me!!! melts my heart...

Saturday night Brian and I had a date night thanks to Maegan's UK basketball tickets and Mom & Dad for watching Harper! This was the longest I had left Harper...since I had her! I started to freak out a little bit before we went and we contemplated on not going. I just didn't want to leave her for some reason! But, Mom sent me a couple of picture texts and we had a great time! It was really fun to have a night {ok, 3 1/2 hours} to be with one another! We went early and had drinks and dinner and then went to the game.  It almost felt like one of our patio talks we used to have where we get deep! It was great!

Sunday night we hosted our Life Group for dinner! It was so fun!! :)  Of course, Sunday night blues sunk in - but this week is going to be a big one! Our baby turns 2 months old and gets the dreaded shots!

**PS- don't forget to link up to the Christmas Decorations post below!! I want to see! :)

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Although I had to put my Thankful Thursdays on hold for a while... I'm still so thankful for so many little things each day!

But most of all, I'm so thankful to have this little turkey with us this year.

This time last year, Brian and I were wondering when/if we'd have a new family member for this year's holidays! I'm thankful for so many things, but especially for my family, my wonderful husband, and our beautiful baby girl!
What are you thankful for?

Gobble Gobble!

Happy Thanksgiving/"When are you going to have a baby" Day!

Ha! As my sister so lovingly put it; now it's finally your turn for all the questions!!

{Mom, Dad, Granddaddy, Kelli(& Cameron), Colby, Eric, Brian, and Me}

This Thanksgiving Day, I am very thankful for my parents; whom I've realized because of them all my other blessings come from...
{1} Thankful they raised me in a Christian home where I was aware and learned about our Savior from very early on.
{2} Thankful they were always loving to me and showed me how to love others.
{3} Thankful they helped me in school and taught me to work hard.
{4) Thankful they showed me how to be a friend and how to choose friends wisely.
{5} Thankful they showed me how a loving relationship exists and lasts.

The list could go on and on...but I'll stop right there. :) You get the point. I don't think I would have waited for this amazing husband or been able to get such great friends in my life without them.
Thanks Mom and Dad. I love you!
