I'm Thankful for Thanksgiving!

I am so grateful that we have this season of the year to really think about all of our blessings. It seems like the world just wants to skip over Thanksgiving, and it drives me crazy. It's so hard not to get caught in the trap. This year I tried soooo hard to focus on why we have Thanksgiving. One silly thing that was really hard for me was not looking at the Black Friday ads during the day. Instead I spent time watching the parade, having a yummy breakfast that Baylen made, and playing with my biggest blessings... my family.


We had dinner with the Sillito clan. We had a good sized group which was lots of fun.

Here is a picture of the first annual Grandfather/son Thanksgiving arm wrestle (Tanner was declared the winner)...

Grandma Sillito planned a little pre-Christmas party. We sang a few songs and the kids opened their Christmas presents from Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma wanted the kids to enjoy their new pajamas and Christmas pillowcases for the whole month of December. Sorry, the lighting for this picture was awful.

Later that evening we went to Grandma and Grandpa Whipple's for our much anticipated traditional Thanksgiving weekend sleepover. We had a lot of fun shopping, watching movies, playing WII, and hanging out with the family. Unfortunately I didn't think to pull the camera out. But, we had a lot of fun.
