Happy Thanksgiving

After hosting Thanksgiving at our place the last couple of years, and after just hosting the birthday party and baptism, we were happy to have a low key, no stress, Thanksgiving dinner. We decided to make reservations at the Hyatt Hotel in downtown Phoenix. The neat thing about this place is that the restaurant at the top rotates slowly providing 360 degrees views of the valley while you eat. We had never been here before so we decided this would be a fun experience for Thanksgiving dinner. We didn't have to cook or clean and could spend the day together enjoying each other and resting. It turned out to be a great plan because the food was delicious (the boys loved the buffet style and ate a ton) and the views were amazing. This may become a tradition!

We are so blessed! I know that I work hard to provide for our family but I recognize that I have also been blessed with great opportunities and guidance throughout my career. We are blessed that Ricky is able to be with the boys and as involved as he is in taking care of their day to day needs and activities. We are blessed to have incredible little boys that fill our hearts and lives. We are blessed with love, health, friendships, faith, a savior and Father in Heaven who loves us and so much more. I often tell the boys to count their blessings because it's so important to recognize all the we've been given. I am grateful for Thanksgiving and the day to stop and count our blessings.

We spent the afternoon at the movie theater watching a movie, we watched football and we decorated the house for Christmas!
