Thanksgiving 2015

I am so thankful for my little family of four. We had a great day eating yummy food and hanging our with family. At Grandma MaryAnn's, the boys even found some new "toys", a cane and Cabbage Patch dolls. Haha!

Thankful for this turkey

I just LOVE getting things like this in Camden's folder from school. So much so, in fact, that I have a hard time decided what to save and what to throw away. We won't talk about how much I have saved since he started preschool. I probably will have to get a file cabinet soon! This year, Camden is thankful for his bruther, seese, militare, aple pi, Jesis and football. I think his spelling is precious!

Thanksgiving 2014

Mom hosted Thanksgiving this year for both families. As usual, the food was yummy and the company was fun. I love how relaxed our day was and how we just focused on family. We were able to take food to Papa Richard and Grandma MaryAnn who were feeling a little under the weather. Then, we changed to comfy clothes and headed back up to Mom's to eat with Dad's brothers and sisters.  I am so thankful for a relaxing day with the people I love most. 

My Greatest Thanks...

This Thanksgiving, my heart is filled with thanks for Camden's birthmom, Brittani, who gave me the opportunity to be a mommy. Her selfless act was a gift I can never repay and that truly humbles me. Here is my Facebook post from today:

"I will be forever thankful to our birth mom for the opportunity to be this little sweetie's momma. Where did the time go?"

We started our Thansgiving festivities at Rick and Rene's house. As Camden got out of the car, he looked around and in an awed voice said, This is a FARM!" It was priceless. Considering we do live in town, their house in rural Festus is pretty close to a farm. All he saw was the horses next door, wooden fences, the forest (as he calls the woods) and lots of open space. We did visit the horses and Spit was nice enough to stop eating and come see us.

Camden did NOT want to leave the horses....

Dinner was delicious and we all agreed the turkey was the best yet. Rick and Jay fried it in a Williams-Sonoma brind. Camden loved entertaining everyone and since he is the only one under 15-he pretty much was the entertainment!

Camden's dinner consisted of cheese, carrots, pretzels and ranch

Later, we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Bailey's. Everyone was still there, except Ryan and Jess, so we visited some more. Camden was glad to play with his cousins. They discovered the house is perfect for a game of hide and seek! I snapped this super cute picture of them and plan to use it as a gift for Christmas.

When it was time to leave, Camden said, "But I was having so much fun!" Todd and I are always cracking up at what he says-I guess all parents do.
I am so thankful to have both of our close enough that we can see them both on holidays. We are truly blessed and enjoyed our day with family.
