Thanksgiving Delights

On Thanksgiving Day we’re thankful for
Our blessings all year through,
For family we dearly love,
For good friends, old and new.
For sun to light and warm our days,
For stars that glow at night,
For trees of green and skies of blue,
And puffy clouds of white.
We’re grateful for our eyes that see
The beauty all around,
For arms to hug, and legs to walk,
And ears to hear each sound.
The list of all we’re grateful for
Would fill a great big book;
Our thankful hearts find new delights
Everywhere we look!

This Thanksgiving holiday we have Brandon's mother, Joy, and brother, Justin, here to visit us. We got a little spoiled. Not only did they travel all the way out here from Utah for the holiday, but his mother so kindly prepared our Thanksgiving meal for us. It was delicious! Brayden got this new highchair thanks to Brandon's father, Kevin, and step-mother, Lynn. We thank you so much. Since we aren't going to see Joy and Justin over Christmas, we celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas with them all at the same time.

Joy and Justin must have brought the cold weather with them for this occasion because it sure felt like the season. It went from 88 on Wednesday to 54 on Thursday.

I think it's time we get Brayden a new winter hat. She hadn't worn this one since she was 6 weeks old.

As much as she wanted to push the blanket off of her she quickly realized how nice it was to have one in the cold weather.

Here's a fun recap of our Thanksgiving/Christmas night with entertainment by none other than....little miss Brayden!

Brayden is so cute! Ribbon and paper is definitely the best part of christmas for a baby, just add a box and you're set! Do you plan on teaching her sign language? She's so smart, and coordinated, she'd be able to do so many signs. That must have been nice to have Brandon's family come so far to be with you guys.
