Mason's First Thanksgiving

Yesterday was Thanksgiving.  I have so much to be thankful for.  I'm thankful for my healthy, handsome blue-eyed baby boy who brings so much joy into my life.  I'm thankful for my husband who is an awesome daddy who doesn't hesitate to show love to his son.  I'm thankful for my parents who love their grandbaby so much and would do anything for him.  I'm thankful for my brothers who are more fun to be around than they've ever been!  I'm thankful for my job - even though I would rather be able to stay at home with my little one, my job pays the bills and buys the groceries!  I'm thankful for good friends, who still love me even though I'm not around as much as I used to be.

Look at these gorgeous blue eyes.  I've never seen another baby as beautiful!

For Thanksgiving, we went to Mamma's as usual.  I was looking forward to giving Mason some of our yummy Thanksgiving dinner, but he slept through the entire meal!  He went to sleep when we got there at 11:45 and slept until 1:30!  I did try to give him some sweet potatoes and turkey when he woke up, but he wasn't interested - there were too many other things going on.

After lunch, we decided to head outside and put Uncle Steven's new camera to the test.  We got some amazing pictures!  Mason got to play in the leaves for a while, and he loved it!  We couldn't keep them out of his mouth, but I tried to remember "God made dirt, and dirt won't hurt!" 

We got some great family pictures too, with the grandparents:

...and with our little family!

Steven did this one on Photoshop, and I thought it was so gorgeous I couldn't leave it off!


I'm such a lucky lady!  Things may not always be easy in life, but I have everything I need and I couldn't ask for more!
