This has been a CRAZY year with so many crazy, bad things happening around us and to people we are close to. So this year I am most grateful that our little family has stayed close and is stronger than ever. I am most grateful for Dave. What an amazing husband/ father he is. He's been working 12-15 hours a day then comes home and still has tickle fights with the girls and gives me massages and cleans the bathrooms and helps with housework on the weekends. I am very, very blessed to have him in my life!
We had a great Thanksgiving this year with Dave's family coming in town. His sister Deirdre and Andrew, Ashton and Jaida. Sister Jen and James and Sara. His mom and dad and sister Amanda, Mike and Beckahm who live here. So we had a full house for almost a week!
That morning some of us went and had a great game of raquet ball. Then home to cook and prapare all the yummy food. Our menu consisted of Tukey, mashed potatos, stuffing, gravy, green bean casserole, spinach salad, homemade rolls and jam, pretzel salad and a relish tray.
It was such a beatiful day the kids played outside most the day.

The girls loved having some of their cousins here. It was so much fun for them.
These 2 climbed into this little crib all by themselves. Too cute!
When Jaida got in the bath with Mads and Tayte Madix said to her, "your the brown one, we're the white ones".
