Thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving everyone! Today we had our first thanksgiving as a family of three (plus dog), and it was absolutely wonderful. To all our friends and family that we didn't see today, thank you for the invites and we hope you had a great celebration, but saying home this year was perfect. We had a relaxing morning, both Alex and I got a chance to run, and we got to hang around in sweats, slowly making side dishes throughout the day. We even tossed a football around in the back yard (until max stole it). When we did sit down we got to enjoy a great meal with Charlotte on one of our laps the whole time.

After dinner there was much playing as a family. Tummy time for adults and baby, as well as singing and dancing. Bath time with dad and lullabies with mom, then off to dream land for baby C in her own crib.

The best part of today was having time to sit down and really think about all that I'm grateful for. It's a pretty overwhelming list that includes:
  • Our beautiful, healthy baby girl
  • My amazing husband
  • The amazing life we've created together
  • My wonderful family
  • The help that my family is getting to get healthy
  • My circle of amazing friends
  • The world's best dog (and that he's SO wonderful with Charlotte)

Thank you to everyone that has in anyway helped us to get to this moment - I'm awfully happy to be here.

So is Charlotte :)
