Thanksgiving came and went.

Well there you have it. Thanksgiving. Came, and went. And now? We creep closer and closer to Christmas.

{Thanksgiving Morning}

Here at the S household, we had a wonderful holiday with our family. We had Thanksgiving at our house this year (first time ever), and while you may think that means that we cooked and prepared, I am here to tell you otherwise.

{All pretty and ready!}

Yes guys, my dear parents and Andrew's parents, and his grandma brought the dishes. Andrew's dad brought the goods and made the fried turkey here, and we? Well we provided the booze {which was equally as important if you ask me, although I did not get to partake!}

Speaking of fried turkey, I hope you all got to enjoy a piece of this heavenly creation. I mean honesty, it is one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted. And Andrew, my sister, and myself devoured that stuff in all its glory. Yum. {I need to make sure my FIL makes one of those for Christmas top}.

When it comes to stuffing our faces, I feel like I was a glorious big fat FAIL. I only had one plate {which wasn't even full} and my stomach hurt so bad that I had to lay on the couch to rest it off. In fact, it didn't get "better" until around midnight.

Overall, this Thanksgiving was just plain wonderful. We laughed. We prayed. We gave thanks. And we just enjoyed one another. That? Is the best type of holiday.

And? We all got excited about the thought of how close Christmas really is.

So after our family left, we hung out as a little family of 3 for a bit... before... I had to go to work.

Yes. I had to go to work. And although I had thought that I would be upset, I was surprisingly okay with this. I mean the only thing left to do was lay on the couch and watch football. And, you guys know how much I love football.

So I kissed my little family and headed out. And the craziest thing happened as I was driving.... I shed a couple of tears. Quickly picked up the phone to call Andrew.... to tell him how thankful I was for him and Elliana. I was. I am. So very thankful for these two beautiful amazing loving people in my life.

And I am most thankful to God for blessing me with this amazing life that I have because of these two.

I hope you all had a warm, loving, memorable thanksgiving full of thanks and family.

And I leave you with the best family portrait from the day. Ahem.
