I am so so Thankful for my two beautiful kids! After losing our baby this month, I feel like my life has changed a lot. My perspective on life is different. Life is so precious and I can't be more grateful for two healthy children. Neil works at the hospital and helps people get better every day, however there are people who don't make it, in all situations of life. We've learned that we can't take life for granted, and to appreciate our family while we're all together. It's been a rough month for all of us, however it has helped me to be even more grateful. This month has been one to remember.
EmmaLee and Carter run around the house, and then when they get to a certain spot, they have to hug! They come up with some cute games!
We decided to put up the Christmas tree on the Monday before Thanksgiving, since we would be out of town. Every time Carter sees a Christmas tree he yells in excitement!
We went to Idaho this year for Thanksgiving. This was the place setting for each person. Everything was so colorful and beautiful!
So thankful
I think we had 19 people this year for dinner, my parents did a lot of work!

A few of us, enjoying dinner.
Every Thanksgiving, it's been our tradition since as far back as I remember, we play Bingo! Joe and Shannon had the prizes this year, yum!
Carter didn't want to have to play, to get a prize, he just wanted a prize! Luckily, it didn't take too long before he got to win... Thanks to Jodie!
My Dad, and his only son, Joe. He had eight daughters before he got him!
Awaiting our turn at winning Bingo.

On Friday, for dinner before we headed back to the Hotel, a few of us went to Burger King for dinner. We had to get some energy before we took a swim in the pool.
EmmaLeee LOVED LOVED having floaties! She was able to be more independent in the water and swam free.
Carter's favorite thing was to jump over and over and over again in the water.
They were trying to play crack the whip in the pool! It doesn't work as well in the water!
I mostly just hung out in the hot tub. The pool was a little to cold for me, I'm a wimp when it comes to being cold.
We had to keep our eye on Carter. Since he wouldn't keep his floaties on, we had to make sure he wouldn't jump in at any given moment.
Happy Thanksgiving!
