Thankfulness

Living thankfulness.  I am so grateful for my life, everyone in it and for all that we have.  We are so lucky.  Feeling very thankful this holiday season - holidays are so much more fun with kids, especially now that Lemon is a bit older.

Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays because we spend it with my dad, away from the hussle and bussle of cooking and cleaning for a large group of people.  It is always so relaxing and this year we went out to eat, which was even better!

We spent the morning in our pjs - playing play-doh, watching a movie, taking baths (showers) and just bumming around - it was so lovely.  At around 4 we started getting ready and around 5 my dad came over to ride with us to Hotel Valley Ho where we ate a super yummy Thanksgiving dinner (and they have gluten free options!).  Lemon and I had turkey, mashed potatoes (she gagged), gf stuffing (with chorizo!) and cranberry sauce, Ian had a hamburger and fries (he hates turkey dinner) and my dad had turkey as well.  My Aunt Susie joined us again and got Lemon a Minnie Mouse toy, which she loved.  Lemon was a super good baby at dinner and afterwards we came home to eat Katz's gf pumpkin and apple pies - if you haven't had these mini frozen pies, get them!  So good!

My bestie hosted Thanksgiving at her house for her, and her boyfriend's families, so I headed over there around 9 to check out her new table, decor and catch up.  I ended up staying until 12:30am and had a blast, a perfect end to a beautiful day.  It was hot, once again (in the 80's) and it was just so gorgeous out - I love fall in Arizona!

 

 

This morning we headed to Ian's parent's house to eat breakfast and take family photos.  Getting these little cousins together is always my fav!
