We had a great Thanksgiving. Grandmom and grandpop drove down to be with us. We started off watching the Thanksgiving parade, which is a tradition of mine. Then Grandmom, daddy and I all cooked while grandpop played with Ashley. She had lots of fun climbing up, practicing walking with her toy and holding his hand, and hanging from the gate watching us cook.
We had a really nice meal. We tried a couple different variations this year, some we'll keep and some we'll discard. Daddy made a sweet potato crunch that will be a new yearly tradition! With Ashley's naps changing, her schedule was a little off. She napped during most of the Thanksgiving dinner, but luckily she woke up and joined us for the last 1/3 of it. She enjoyed trying most of the new foods.
After dinner mommy and daddy played and bonded with Ashley (she missed us while we were cooking), and grandpop and grandmom took care of clean up. After relaxing for a bit, we went over to the Wagners to have dessert with Peggy, Wayne, Matt, Christi, Eli, Katie and Sara. We had a nice time visiting for a little while before it was time for Ashley's bedtime.
It was a nice day, and just a great time to reflect on all of our wonderful blessings. This year's biggest blessing sat at our dinner table--our newest family member, Ashley. God blessed Matt and I with her, and to him I will be forever grateful.
