Thanksgiving this year was fun, and full and crazy!! We celebrated Thanksgiving at "Casa Loco" with our usual clan plus The Twins and company from Midland plus Taren, Patrick's Girlfriend of almost a year.
I was so excited for Everett's first Thanksgiving. I retrieved him from his crib telling him all about how excited Thanksgiving was going to be and all the yummy food. He. Did. Not. Care.
We have established a new tradition the past couple of years where Drew and Lane fry turkeys the night before Thanksgiving. This year was no different and Neeley, Lane, Patrick, Taren, Drew and I all hung out at our house the night before. Neeley and I went a little crazy at the store and had a true shmorgezbourg of food to snack on throughout the night. Mom even joined in for awhile before she got worn down by all our food and went home.
It was a fun Thanksgiving surrounded by lots of precious children running and playing in the house and several babies trying to nap throughout the day. Everett was quite impressed with his first tastes of turkey, broccoli cheese casserole but especially by Nana's sweet potato praline.
I kept looking at Everett thinking how incredibly Thankful I am to have such a healthy, beautiful, easy and fun baby! This year has truly been magical with him in our lives!
I was also so incredibly Thankful for another year with my Mom.... year to year is unknown with her disease. To have her celebrate Thanksgiving with us and know what we are doing is such a blessing!
I tried to really take in this Thanksgiving. The future is always unknown but to be surrounded by so many people we love was certainly reason to celebrate!!
