Thanksgiving is one of my least favorite holidays... It always lands right around my birthday and I'm really not a big eater, I don't really enjoy the whole celebration aspect of it. However, I love having a day to remember the things that I am thankful for.
Kyle got down to Vegas sooner than we had expected so we went with my parents to my Aunt Alice's house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was so fun to spend time with her and my Uncle Rick, their children and my grandparents. My grandma just turned 80, and she really doesn't remember much... so I enjoy the little moments we have left with her!
On Friday, we had dinner with the Avance family. It was hectic before dinner and Paisley didn't get a nap, so she was a grump after but we were happy they were willing to wait until Friday to celebrate so we could celebrate with them.
A lot has happened this past year that has had me really pondering the most important things in life. Most important to me is my family... Kyle, Jaxton and Paisley are the most wonderful things that have ever happened to me. I feel at times, I am terrible at making sure they all know how much I love and appreciate them but I will spend my whole life trying to show them. I am also thankful for our extended families... which I am also not really good at showing.
It was fun spending Thanksgiving in Las Vegas (too warm for comfort in my opinion). We enjoyed doing a little black Friday shopping and spending time as a family. We are lucky and constantly counting our many blessings!
