There is a LOT to be thankful for.....

This years thanksgiving was definitely different from all the rest. But now that we are parents I kinda expected that. I am very thankful for my amazing husband who has been there right along side of me for everything, who cooked me every meal (when he wasn't working) and got me everything I might need while I was on bed rest, who held my hand as I went through childbirth, who cuddles me every night, and is seriously the best husband and the best daddy ever!! I am thankful for my two little boys! Even thought they are only a month old, they have already flipped our lives upside down (in a good way) and we will never be the same. It is true, you never know that kind of love until you have your own.. I am thankful for my family, friends, and total strangers who have been there to help us and the babies. And I am thankful for the life I am able to live and for the people who make it that way.

Thanksgiving weekend started off with freezing cold weather and family coming into town. Sorry there aren't more pictures, I was bad at pulling out my camera... it was too much fun talking with people to pull it out every two seconds.

My brother Shane came through town, traveling for the holidays with his fiance Dawn(who I absolutely love! I approve big brother!) . They live in Alaska and it's been a year and a half since I've seen him last. It was fun to visit with both of them!

I love this picture of the boys! it shows you how much they are starting to change. If nothing else you can tell them apart by their hair. Kollin has darker, longer hair. and Kleyton has short hair that is starting to go light, it even is starting to get a redish tint to it... (finally Dad, you get a boy that looks like you!)

Thanksgiving DAY!!! Kollin and is daddy look so much a like.


And momma and Kleyton do too!


Turkey makes you sleepy.... or maybe it's just 'turkey day' cuz no one in this picture has eaten any yet.




Thanksgiving day we went to our brother-in-laws grandparents house for lunch. It was so yummy and fun to do something a little different for the holiday. The rest of the weekend was spent visiting with family and lots of cuddle time with the babies...
On saturday Kris and Danielle hosted a 2nd thanksgiving for the Ramsay side of the family. It was a fun night and we didn't even head home till about 2am.

I told you video games were a big hit.... this is the reason we didn't leave till 2 am.. haha

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
