thankful

as you all know thanksgiving is my favorite holiday...

and this year didn't let me down.

i love everything about thanksgiving. the food, the family, the thanks.

i feel like this year (2012 in general) has been a doozy. many highs and lows. many things to look back on and improve. but no matter what i am totally thankful for everything this year has brought. especially my sweet little jude baby. our family and extended family has grown so much closer since jude was born. we are so lucky and so blessed!

i am looking forward to Christmas as well. i can't wait!... and a new year in 2013!
