Thanksgiving 2010

This year for Thanksgiving we were planning on going down to Salt Lake to spend it with Alofa's family. Due to the TON of snow we got, that really wasn't an option. So our plans changed a little and we went and spent Thanksgiving with my dad instead. We had a great time! and the food was AMAZING!!

This is MY turkey leg and NO I will NOT share!! :)

Alofa's first time carving the turkey! He did a great job!!

Grandpa Howerton MUST have slipped some turkey in that bottle! He sure was sleepy after he ate it! ;)

What a sweet boy! I am sooo thankful that he LOVES to cuddle just as much as I do! It makes every minute of every day sooo much better :)

Doesn't Alofa make that turkey look DELICIOUS?!?!

(It WAS delicious by the way:))

Grandpa Howerton feeding Toa. Looks like they are BOTH in Heaven! I think that Grandpa may have snuck some turkey in that bottle for Toa so he could enjoy his first Thanksgiving too :)

Joe won't admit it but I think he REALLY likes Toa :)

Grandpa Howerton and Toa. Does your fist taste like turkey Toa? :) Sure looks like you are enjoying it!

My sister, her boyfriend, her friend, my brother and his wife were all there as well but I didn't get any pictures of them. I wish I had. I will do better next year! We had a GREAT time going through all of the ads for Black Friday, spending time together and prank calling some of our other family and friends. I laughed sooo hard that I was crying! It was a wonderful and very fun Thanksgiving!

This is how you can tell it was a GREAT first Thanksgiving for Toa:

A happy and very sweet baby boy to be ever so thankful for!

I am so thankful for all of the blessings that I enjoy. My life is better than I ever dreamed that it would be! I have a very kind and loving husband who gave me the sweetest boy! He fits so perfectly into our little family and while it is true that he is only about two months old, I CANNOT remember what my life was like without him! He greets me every morning with a sweet smile and ready to cuddle! I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for the opportunity that I have to be a wife and a mom, both roles that I cherish! I am thankful for my job and that Alofa has a job as well! I am also thankful for my friends and my family! I have so much to be thankful for! I hope that I take the time necessary to reflect on my blessings often and do what I can do to bless the lives of others as well!
