Thanksgiving Holidays

Well we survived another Thanksgiving as a family - our first as a married couple but 2nd as a family.

Patrick and I started it out on Wednesday by shopping for 6 hours getting a jump start on Santa and also stopping by the movies to see 2012 - man good movie super intense. Thursday we shopped a little at Old Navy (opened at 12 on Thanksgiving OH YEAH say hello to $15 pregnancy pants) before heading to pick up the girls at 2, on the way we made our traditional stop at Waffle House for a snack. It really doesn't seem like Thanksgiving starts until we have them with us. Its amazing the love that I feel for these two beautiful girls. What a blessing God has given me not only with Patrick as my husband but with them as my daughters.

We headed to my cousin Crystals house Thanksgiving night to celebrate - the girls had a blast playing with Bryson, Emily, Vanessa & Zoey. THANKS AGAIN FOR LETTING US CRASH THE PARTY!!! The food was outstanding and the desserts were even better. Other than that on Friday we put up our Christmas tree - the new 9.5 foot Christmas tree....did I mention that its 4 feet wide at the base....yeah its huge. We all had a blast adding the new ornaments and star to the tree that we bought last year. Only lost 2 ornaments to dropping...not too bad. Also on Friday I'm pretty sure I felt the baby move for the first time. It was similar to butterflies in my stomach but it was a feeling I've never felt before. It was amazing. What a great blessing we have in our unborn baby. All the feelings of excitement and hope for the future. Can't wait to meet...."it"! :)

On Saturday after taking a few family pictures at Long Hunter State Park we went to Columbia to visit with Aunt Donna (Patricks sis) and Julianna and Andrew with Mr. Brad and Kaitlyn - we had a blast bowling. Megan dominated the kids bowling and her Daddy dominated the adults - he's a hustler waits until the 9th or 10th frame to take the lead. Made me think I was going to win. HA little did I know.

I attached a few fall pics a few taken before the Holiday and some taken over the weekend. Hope you guys enjoy. Goodness it so hard to believe that next year at this time we'll have a 7 month old!! WOW...how life changes.
