Thanksgiving 2011

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone, and again, I did not take any pictures. What is wrong with me?! Drives me nuts that I don't take more pictures. Anyway, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent it down in St. George with Anton's family. We had such a great time (with the exception of our crazy 18 month old). I feel so blessed, and am so thankful to have such great in-laws. I was telling my sister today about how lucky I am to have such a wonderful and sweet mother-in-law. She isn't invasive, she is beyond darling with our kids, and she is one of the most humble women I know. She is always such great company. I always have a wonderful time with Antons family...I feel really lucky. I can be myself around them, and they always make me laugh. We ate and ate and ate, and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Lilly of course had an absolute ball, Claire however was not on her best behavior. In fact, she has been giving us a run for our money lately. That's another story though. I was thinking a lot about the things I am most grateful for. And what it really boils down to is family. I don't really know, nor do I want to think about, where I would be without family. My immediate little family is my life...Anton, Lilly and Claire are the greatest blessings. I can't even begin to express my love and gratitude for them. I am grateful to have amazing parents so close, and siblings whom I adore. Each of them are such wonderful examples and they are good people. My in-laws are so wonderful. They are some of the least judgmental people I know. There are so many things in my life to be thankful for....material things, and non material things. But, where I feel the most gratitude is when I think of my family. I am blessed, and so very Thankful for each and every one of them.!!

It was so fun to spend time with you and your family. We love being around you and feel like you fit right in (I hope that's a good thing on your end). Glad you are a part of our life and you put up with Anton:) See you at Christmas. Keep it warm for us!
