Thanksgiving

We had an awesome Thanksgiving this year. We started the month with an fhe where we said what we were Thankful for, it was so fun. It was kind of a weird year for us. It was Kade's year but his grandparents are on a mission so we didn't do our traditional get together with like 60 people. Instead whoever wanted to come to Kiri's got together then some people did their own thing, and others went to Arizona to see Kade's grandparents. It was so fun to have it at a house (we usually do it at a church) and it felt so much more cozy and like it was when I grew up when my mom used to host it at our house. I absolutely loved every second. We started the day by running a 5K with Kade's cousins who host one every year at Liberty Park and they collect clothes and food and then run around the park a couple of times. The kids did great and Mia ran a lot probably a mile or so. I was so proud of her. Then we got ready and went to Kiri's. I was in charge of the veggie tray which I found on pinterest and made, I also brought a pink lemonade pie, and cranberry sauce. The food was all amazing and I tried it all. Eileen made the best dish hands down though, some kind of yummy green beans with feta and peanut oil, I had three servings so good! We said what we were Thankful for and I was especially thankful for Kade's life this year since it was spared earlier this year. We have had a completely different focus on life since then and it has been wonderful. Then Mia said she was thankful for her family and she brought tears to my eyes cute little girl! We chatted, ate, hung out, laid down, then ate pie. It was great, after that we went to Kacey and Josh's house and watched Breaking Dawn 1 and stayed until 2am it was a blast. Thanks everyone for making it such an awesome Thanksgiving. I did miss my own family and especially my momma's dressing but next year we should hopefully have it :)
