Happy Thanksgiving....La, La, La

For quite some time, Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday. I love the fall decorations, the wonderful aromas, the food, and, most of all, just getting together and spending the day relaxing with family and thinking about all the things that I am thankful for. This Thanksgiving has been my most thankful one yet! How blessed I am to have a wonderful family....especially my husband, and now a daughter, Halle Simone. It is still so hard to believe. I am so thankful to the Lord for His goodness to us, and the miraculous way He has worked out every aspect of Halle's coming to us. I am also thankful to all of you who love us, and have been faithful to pray for us for so many years. I am most thankful that we have a God who hears and answers our prayers.

This Thanksgiving, we spent the day with Brian's parents, and his Aunt Red and Uncle Bill at his mom and dad's house. We were excited because it snowed off and on all day. It was so pretty!

This is an amazing picture....Halle is in her car seat, and she's not crying! She was sleeping when we got ready to leave our house, and she didn't wake up until we got to the Lott's house (an hour away!). That was such a relief to me. We haven't gone many places since she's been born, but until yesterday, the car was not a happy experience for Halle.

Here Halle was just enjoying laying on the floor and stretching for a few minutes. (Isn't her outfit cute? My neighbor bought it for her.)

Grampee decided to play with Halle....she loved it!

Grampee kept Halle happy while we worked on Thanksgiving dinner.

Another amazing thing.....Halle took a nap while we ate Thanksgiving dinner! I was very happy with that arrangement. Brian and I haven't been eating at the same time lately - we take turns holding Halle while the other one eats. Just one more thing to be thankful for yesterday!

Daddy fed Halle when it was her turn to eat.

What a beautiful, happy Thanksgiving!
