Happy Thanksgiving


Yes, it is January and I am finally posting pictures of Thanksgiving. Life has been way too crazy, I'll probably spend the next few weeks catching up, and then I'll be behind again. But we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Daniel's family from California (the Lascanos) came, and we had so much fun while they were here. They are such a fun family.
We did our usual running all over town, starting out the day eating cinnamon rolls at Daniel's Grandma's house. Then we headed to our first of 3 Thanksgiving feasts at my Grandma's at noon. Makee had his first Thanksgiving feast this year, since last year his meals consisted of purely milk. What a great day to spend with family.
We went to Daniel's grandma's next for a big gathering with the entire family.
Later on, we went to my dad's Aunt Ann's and Uncle Leon's. By then, people had already eaten, but I still dug into a turkey sandwich.
Then we went back to Daniel's grandma's for dessert. WHAT a day! It was pretty crazy, but it's nice that our family lives so close so we can make it to everything. I am so grateful for our wonderful families.

Here are some things I am thankful for in my life:
1. My wonderful husband who would and does do everything and anything for me
2. Our precious little boy who had brought me more joy than I could ever imagine.
3. That Daniel and I both have amazing families that are always there for us
4. For the Gospel in my life and the peace and joy that it brings me
5. Our home--I love where we live. It's a cozy house in a great area and terrific neighbors.
6. That I get to stay home with Makee
7. All four seasons and the beauty each one brings
8. The strength I've gained from experiences in my life
9. Great friends
10. All the little things that make life worth living

I have been so blessed in my life. I couldn't ask for more.
