Thanksgiving!

This is the girls first Thanksgiving that they were able to partake in all of the yummy traditional foods.  Hands down, their favorite has to be pumpkin pie.  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

We celebrated Thanksgiving a day late this year.  All four of us have had a terrible head/chest cold that is lingering around.  We are quite the snot, cough, sneeze crew these days.  It's fairly sad to see the girls sick and it isn't easy when you are sick also.  Things like this make me appreciate my mother all the more.  I don't remember her ever taking more than a couple of sick days for herself, but she was always there for us when we were sick.  So this week when I wanted to crawl into bed and cry, I thought about her, popped some Dayquil, and cuddled with the girls.  

We have so much to be thankful for this year.  All of our family and friends have been very supportive and helpful.  Without their support our lives would not be complete.  The girls have had a fairly healthy year and for that I am ever so grateful!  I am thankful for all of the fortunes and misfortunes we have had this past year, because without them, we wouldn't be the people we are today.

Here are some pictures I took of the girls today.  Sorry no pics of Jason and I......we are still sick and not in any way shape or form photogenic today.  :)

Yes, I have one of 'those children'...you know, the ones that like to rub their food in their hair.  Good times Kate!

Miss Kate is thankful for the stretchy pants on days like these.  (mommy is too!)
