Thanksgiving...

This year Thanksgiving was extra special. We found out a couple of days before Thanksgiving that Jeff's parents would be coming to visit us from Denver. We were so excited because we only get to see them a couple times a year. This was Kaden's first Thanksgiving and Ashlee's first with us. We had dinner over at my parents house and we were so honored to have Jeff's parents there with us. Jeff usually smokes a turkey but this year he wanted to try something different so he decided to deep fry the turkey. I was nervous but everything was fine and it tasted really good. It was really crowded with over 40 people in one room but it was a lot of fun to be together as one big family. Kaden was almost asleep when we started to eat but then he decided to wake up and eat and boy did he eat! He was grabbing handfuls of food and shoving them into his mouth. I can't blame him though because all of the food was really good.
The following day we all had fun at the parade and then Paw-Paw and Grandma took the kids shopping at toys-r-us for their Christmas gifts. They always do so much for my kids and I am so grateful for all of the love and help that they give to us. That night we went downtown and had dinner and walked around Temple Square. Angel was sick so she didn't have that much fun but it was nice to be together and see the beautiful lights.
Saturday the grandparents had to head back to Denver. I was so grateful that they were able to come and share this Thanksgiving with us. I am so thanksful for so many things this year. First of all for my family. I am so blessed to be married to my best friend, Jeff. I love him so much!! Then for my amazing kids, Angel, Ashlee and Kaden. They truely are the most amazing gifts in the world and I love them more than anything. For my family and friends that are always there for me, I love you all so much!!
