Thanksgiving 2009

I seem to be always a few steps behind with posting, but at least I'm getting there....otherwise I'll never remember what we did! This year, for the first time since being married, we spent Thanksgiving with my family (Diana had surgery just before Thanksgiving). It was a lot of fun to switch things up.

We spent Thanksgiving day at my parent's house with my Aunt Naomi, Uncle Montie, cousins Jared and Christian, and everyone but Charity and Justin. I don't have any pictures of the day, but it was spent eating, drinking Mark's homemade hard cider, listening to the guys talk politics and the economy and playing the wii.


The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing at the beach. And a huge bonus, all three kids actually slept great!

This was Aspen's favorite part of the weekend - playing Star Wars video games.

He loves Star Wars right now.

Our two new cuties - Lilly 6 months and Willow 3 months.

Hanging out, enjoying the hard cider. A good addition to any family party.

Yep, we are having fun!

We love the beach. It was cold, but we didn't have any rain.

Isn't this a cool picture? I like how everything is in motion except Aspen's face.

I'll admit, I was hoping to get them to do something cute like holding hands, but they weren't having it...this was as close as they were going to get.

There are so many things I am thankful for, and I feel incredibly blessed. Many times at night, when I'm up feeding Willow and things are quiet, I think about it all and pour out my thanks to him.
