Thankful!

This year has had plenty of ups and downs...overall, it was a great year and we are all so thankful for so many things including:
1. Both of our A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and supportive families
2. Our wonderful friends
3. Our jobs (especially during this icky economy)
4. Our beautiful home
5. Love that we receive each day
The list could go on and on...

This Thanksgiving was yet another great one!

We spent Thanksgiving day at mom and dad's house with the whole family including Mike's mom and brother! My mom cooked the most delicious meal (as ALWAYS!!).
So very thankful for these two!!!
Yep, made cakeballs....chocolate cake with peanut butter chips! Soooo good!

This pumpkin could have snacked all day long!
The pictures turned out blurry, but Mak decided to get some dress up time in with Uncle Mike...shhhh...he doesn't know I am sharing this! ;)
She also had fun playing with Ryan!

That next morning (Black Friday) was spent waking up at 4:30 with my mom to tackle the crowds all over town! We did it and boy did we find lots of good deals! =) That night was Thanksgiving round #2 at Grandma and Grandpa Ese's in San Clemente where we got to see Aunt Kathy, Cousin Steven, Cousin David, and Leia! Fun times!
