Thanksgiving

We had an amazing Thanksgiving. We were lucky because even though Josh had to work Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we were still able to have an amazing dinner with his family. We were able to convince his oldest sister and her family of 7, his brother and family of 6, his parents,  2 other brothers, and 2 other sisters all to come to our house for Thanksgiving. Josh and I figure it works nice for most because we live in between his parents and his oldest sister. No one really has to drive that far. Also even though Josh works he can still come home at night and enjoy his family.

The weekend was fun. We went to the park and enjoyed the beautiful weather. We did a little shopping on Black Friday. We took the kids over to the Bass Pro Shop to see Santa and they loved that. Payton not so much. We went to the Ghirardelli Factory and ate yummy treats, and we played lots of games all weekend.

Update on Pregnancy

I am currently 26 weeks along.  Things have been going good. I am feeling strong. Every so often my feet will hurt or my back, but nothing too major. I now have less than 100 days left. I can't believe it. The time just keeps going by. Soon it will be christmas, then my birthday, then Brady comes home from his mission in North Carolina, and then I am due. I can't wait for this little girl to join our family.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We have so many things to be thankful for. My life is truly blessed. I have an amazing husband that puts up with me and my craziness, and a beautiful little boy that can make anyone smile. Josh and I both have amazing families that we came from and couldn't even express how thankful we are for our parents and their amazing example to us. We have 4 amazing brothers serving missions for our church right now. We couldn't be more proud of their examples. We love our families and are so thankful for each and everyone of our siblings, in laws, nieces, nephews, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  We are richly blessed every day. We would not be who or where we are today if it wasn't for The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints.
Happy Thanksgiving!
