A Thanksgiving Full of Thanks

Everyone that knows me knows my favorite holiday - Thanksgiving.

I was especially looking forward to Thanksgiving this year because this would be our first year celebrating Thanksgiving as a family. 

I am extremely blessed and thankful for my healthy, beautiful, sweet, squishy cheeked daughter who has truly enriched my life and given me meaning. She means the world to me and I don't know what I would do without her chubby, kissable cheeks and dimply butt. When she looks at me with her big blue eyes I know I have succeeded in life. She's perfect and all mine... forever. 

I love my lil' turkey.

I have also been blessed with thee greatest hubman and father to my sweet baby girl. Not only does he love her, but he loves to take care of her. He loves bath time, rocking her, doing tummy time and even changing her extremely stinky poopy diapers. He's amazing with her and still makes me feel special, too. He constantly compliments me and makes me feel beautiful, even with sweats on and spit up in my hair. 

I just love him to pieces.

I was also looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner at Terri's this year. Don't get me wrong, I can cuddle and love on my chunky monk all day, but I was especially looking forward to a day with people around who wanted to hold Tenley and give our tired arms a break. Not only did my arms get a break; but my stomach got overloaded with pure deliciousnesssss. God, I love turkey dinner!

Tenley really had an amazing time with Tammy or as I call her the "Tenley Whisperer".

Tenley absolutely loved her and really loved her masseuse skills.

She made this hilarious face when Tammy would hit her spot:

Last but not least, I am thankful for my family and friends and white wine.

Although our family in Ohio is thousands of miles away, I am thankful for the close relationships we have maintained throughout the years. As they say, "distance makes the heart grow fonder." My family is awesome sauce and I don't know who I'd be without them. I am also grateful that I am surrounded by friends in Vegas that treat me as family. I have the best friends a girl could ask for.

This Thanksgiving was truly a Thanksgiving full of thanks.

I have nothing to complain about and everything to be thankful for.
