Thanksgiving 2012

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure enjoyed lots of time with family and of course all the good food! 

Last years Thanksgiving was spent in the hospital with our new tiny little babies. We met Dusty's family at Golden Corral during the NICU shift change for a quick Thanksgiving meal and then went back to be with our babies. My how different this year was! :)

We have so much to be thankful for this year, most of all our healthy babies. God has blessed our family beyond what we deserve and we are so thankful to Him. We have amazing families that love and support us in every way possible. We have awesome friends who are so fun to be with and show so much love to our little family. We have a beautiful house full of nice luxuries that we often take for granted. We have stable income allowing me to stay home with my little buggies, the job I have always dreamed of having. We believe that God opens doors and gives us opportunities to work hard and enjoy all of our blessings if we trust our lives to Him. So for all of this, we are truly THANKFUL!

So we started the holiday off by putting our house Christmas lights up. (My inside has been decorated since right after Halloween, ha!) Then at lunch we went over to my Aunt Karen's house with all of my Dad's family to enjoy a lovely Thanksgiving meal. This was the babies first time eating a lot of this food. Mallory loved it, Mason wanted his milk of course!

She loved the cranberry sauce!

Mason is in a fun stage of not eating, boo! :(

They got all the attention!

Mason with my sweet cousin Hayley! They live in Dallas and she, her brother, and her Mom & Dad were able to make the trip to spend some time with the twins. We are so glad they did!

Maser was getting that accelerator button figured out!

Later we went out to Dusty's parents house for another wonderful meal. It was just us, Gamaw, Papaw, and Dusty's Granny. We got to enjoy a few rounds of Yahtzee and some delicious food that Gamaw made. It was relaxed and so enjoyable! I have to make note of this next picture. Mallory makes lots of noises. She can say Mama, Dada, and Bubba but doesn't really use them to often. She just recently started saying uh oh and it is the cutest. I got my camera out to snap a few pics and out of habit I said "say cheese". My goofy little girl replied with "cheeeeeeeethe"! It was so shocking and adorable at the same time. Now she says it all the time and I just cant get enough! Hehe!

My little smarty pants saying cheese!

My Mason clapping and saying "yay"! Love him!

My sister and her husband were able to stay in town through the weekend before heading back to Arlington so we got lots of quality time with Aunt Mami and Uncle Adam! The girls got some shopping in and the guys got some eating and football time in! The babies LOVE them both and although we wish they lived here we are just thankful for the holidays and other times we get to see them!

It was definitely a successful holiday and we are so excited about the rest of the holiday season. This is certainly my FAVORITE time of the year!! How about you?
