Tis the Season

TIS THE SEASON TO BE GRATEFUL (even though Thanksgiving has already come and gone). but I would feel so ungrateful if I didn't share the feelings I felt through the Thanksgiving Holiday.

I have always loved Thanksgiving time. I love the time when everyone views their life's worries and stresses in a different perspective and realize how grateful we all are for the great things that we do have. I love spending time with family and realizing how blessed we are. This Thanksgiving we especially had so much to be thankful for. #1 I was grateful that Hailee didn't arrive on Thanksgiving like the doctor said. (although, I would have been just as grateful). It was just so nice to be with all our family for the holiday and to have her be a part of it. I have truly enjoyed being a mother so much already! I am so grateful for the new addition to our family and what a joy she brings to Kory and I. Every time we look at our sweet little Hailee, we can't deny all that we have been blessed with... We are SO blessed. I am so grateful for my family and friends and for everything that everyone has done for me and my family. Looking back on this last year, we couldn't have made it without you all. This year definitely has not been the easiest, but through all your prayers and support, Kory and I could not be more grateful and happy. We really can't thank you enough! I have a beautiful little baby girl, a fantastic, hard working husband, amazing and supportive family on both sides, and wonderful friends! I have so much to be grateful for. I love my growing family!
