Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving today! Ryan and I both have so much to be thankful for this year. We are thankful for our precious baby girl and all the happiness she has brought into our lives. We are thankful for each other and the amazing marriage that we have. We are thankful for our incredible family and friends that enrich our lives. But most of all, we are thankful for the never ending, unconditional love that Jesus Christ pours out on us daily. Our lives are overflowing with blessings and we are eternally grateful!

It was a long day, but a great one! This morning, we woke up and had cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Then we just hung out and watched the parade.

We went to my sister's home for lunch. All of my family was there, along with some of my sister's friends. We ate a lot and visited with each other. Leah loved her first Thanksgiving meal. She ate so much! She tried everything that I gave her. She had turkey, stuffing, bread, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce! She loves a good meal!
Leah is such a ham! If she has an audience, she will perform. She was having a great time being passed around the room.
These two people mean the world to me. I thank God everyday for bringing them into my life.
After lunch at Christi's, we went back to my parent's house to watch the football game and relax. My mom bought this snowman outfit after Christmas last year and we tried it on Leah. It was a little small, but was such a cute photo op! Isn't she the cutest little snowman you have ever seen!

When we finally made it back to our house, we were all ready for a little dinner. While we were eating, Ryan and Leah started having a grunting contest. I ran to get the camera and was able to catch the tail end of it! She is so funny and constantly makes us laugh. What a great way to end our first Thanksgiving as a family of three!
