Malekai's Baby Blessing

The Sunday after Thanksgiving we gave Malekai a baby blessing. Andrew did a great job. The blessing was beautiful. I did laugh at him a little bit because by the time he sat back down by me on the bench he was drenched. It looked like he just got out of the shower. He said it was hot in the circle but I think he was nervous!

I cooked Thanksgiving dinner this year for the first time ever!! I have to brag a little becuase it turned out a lot better than I ever expected. I only forgot the cranberries which turned out okay becuase nobody really liked them anyway, at least that's what they said! To keep the tradition alive, we set up the Christmas tree on Friday. Aylee was quite the helper! She put all the ornaments on two branches. When we told her to spread them out she said "Okay..I am".

Thanksgiving

I love how Thanksgiving time always helps you to recognize all your blessings. I am so grateful for my family and friends. I am grateful for the gospel and the doctorines that get me through life, especially the rough times. I love being a mom and am so thankful that I can stay home with my children to play with them, teach them, and watch them grow. I have gratitude towards my husband for all his support and love he shows me even when I don't really deserve it! I love the neighborhood I live in and feel especially blessed to be able to be here.
