Happy Thanksgiving!

we started a tradition last year with the turkey hat. we all take turns wearing it and saying what we were thankful for this past year. its fun and it gives us all time to reflect on the many blessings we've received.

we got to enjoy great company with our good friends scott,crystal and Liam this year and we were so excited to share this holiday with them. They've been great friends and we're grateful for our friendship!
They were good sports when it came time for the turkey hat.
Charlie wasn't as cooperative...
cute Liam
Little Buddies
They are so funny when we get these two together! Charlie got a little too excited to see Liam this time though and unfortunately...well you can see for yourself the battle wound Liam endured...

it was a small but great thanksgiving this year. we have so much to be grateful for. this year as we went around i mentioned feeling blessed for our precious healthy little boy and for the opportunity to be a full time mom. Patrick expressed gratitude for trials and the strength he's drawn from them and been able to approach them differently. and of course our gratitude for each other. we wouldnt be who we are, or do what we do without each other. pats been an amazing father and a great provider for our family. he works hard but manages to keep his family a priority. and to our family and friends: we love you and are grateful for all your love and support! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
