Thankful

This Thanksgiving was really nice... nice and relaxing, nice to have us all together, and nice for all of us to enjoy turkey together!! Two years ago... Daddy and I missed out on Turkey dinner, we were busy at the hospital being teased by little miss B who couldn't make up her mind as to whether Thanksgiving would be a good day to make her entrance or not. We spent the better part of the afternoon/evening there just to be sent home... only to make our way back a few hours later when B decided that the day after Thanksgiving sounded better to her. When she decided it was time she ment it! She made her entrance fast and furious (almost in the toilet) but she didn't so it's all good ;) So today, November 27th, is Missa's 2nd birthday! She is happy to have Daddy home for this one! SUCH a daddy's girl!

Then of course last year Daddy was away, he had just barley gotten to Kuwait at this point. Felt like such a long road ahead... but looking back, we can't believe it's already over. Nice to see it from this point of view. We were able to enjoy our Thanksgiving last year with family being very close by, but it wasn't completely the same with an empty chair. Poor guy missed 2 turkey dinners in row jeesh ;) Well technically they got turkey over there, but it's never as good as it is at home! 

We used to go to both our parent's houses, but it is just too hard with all the kids. They live close enough, but it's still nice to just relax in one spot and not be running around, and since He was away last year, This year we headed over to his parent's house. It was a nice day, which started at home with none other than the Macy's Parade!!!

Dinner was SOOOO Good, and was followed by some wrestling matches with daddy

and of course... PIE!

Mmmmm

"I" enjoyed it

Missa finished everyone's for them 

It was fun & relaxing. Our bellies were filled, and then the Turkey "comas" started to kick in....

Just in time for everyone to sit and watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory

Let the Holiday Season begin!
