Magic Months: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving celebrations have not been lacking this year. On Monday Abbie and Stephen came for a couple day visit from Virginia. We enjoyed a lot of good things. Relaxed a lot, went to the movies, laughed, reminisced and heard stories while looking through all of grandma and grandpa's slides, ate some fabulous treats and enjoyed one another's company, to name a few. The boys also played lots of football. We then had our big dinner on Wednesday.  

Here are some pictures from our thanksgiving days. :)

Thursday morning we spent doing what we have for all three of our years together. Eating breakfast and being cozy. It's probably what we're best at.  While watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade of course. It's so festive and fun to us... even if it is mostly silly. :) I'm pretty sure Thanksgiving will be forever changed as we remember our first one as parents in the hospital with our one day old Jack in our arms. It was one of the best feelings in the world and something we'll always remember with joy.

First Thanksgiving just the two of us,

Second Thanksgiving with Jack,

We spent the rest of the morning baking and preparing for the Baxter family Thanksgiving celebrations. Such fun to enjoy another day of deliciousness. Jack also got to spend it with three of his great grandparents, which is pretty amazing.

Sorry for just rambling on, but I have a lot to say about Thanksgiving! I want to talk all about our old family traditions in Niagara Falls with some of our favorite people, last Thanksgiving and the fun stories of being in the hospital, details of our family celebrations, the way that it's the perfect holiday to start off the Christmas season... maybe another time. :) 

We have so many reasons to be grateful. Mashed potatoes is one of them... I mean seriously? How are they so good?! I'll never know. 

Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving!
