Thankful

We had a great Thanksgiving this year and spent the whole day at my parents house.  We had 11 adults and all 17 grandchildren there...and actually although we thought it would be crazy, the kids were all very well behaved and it was such a nice day.  It was fun to just go over there and hang out for the day.


Of course my whole family died at how cute the girls looked in their little turkey shirts.  They were even more impressed when they found out I had made it!  Well I can't take all the credit, Brigitte found the idea and made one for Holland and helped me make theirs too.  They turned out so cute though.

I really am so thankful for our new little family we have.  I still look at both Siena and Aria and wonder how I got so lucky and blessed to have them as part of our family.  Not only am I grateful to be a mother, I'm thankful for their good dispositions.  I'm also so thankful for the rest of our family.   I love going over to my parents and just hanging out with everyone.  It's so nice that we all get along and have a great time together.  I'm thankful that my mom has been responding so well to Chemo...that it is working and that she hasn't had too many bad side effects.  It's nice to see some of her energy returning little by little.

Siena and Aria are catching up to Max.  When Max came over when the girls first got home from the hospital, he looked so huge next to them and now look at them...
