Thankful {Turkey Day & 11 months}

This past weekend was quite eventful. We celebrated Thanksgiving, Aunt Oana's Birthday, Yaya's Birthday and Lilly Rose turned 11 months. Whew!
 
I believe myself to be a thankful person. This year however was so much more meaningful. This was our sweet girls first Thanksgiving. Some days I am overwhelmed with how full my heart feels having the opportunity to be her mama. The wait for such a gift was well worth the hard journey and I'm forever thankful for my sweet, funny, goofy, social, loving baby girl! Along with this being Lilly Roses' first Thankgiving, Uncle Jordan was home with us as well... two extra blessings this Thanksgiving!
 
We goobled up some turkey, honey-baked ham, dressing and all the yummy sides until our bellies were stuffed. Of course we enjoyed the dessert buffet which included Aunt Rosie's award winning chocolate delight. Okay, I'm not positive it's actually won an award but it should, it's that yummy! Unfortunately, I was too busy talking, trying to feed my picky (still gerber eating) girl and feed myself so I didn't take any pictures. I wish I would have gotten one of Aunt Oana and Ra. We were glad Ra & V were able to join us this year, too! I do have a few from earlier in the day though that I must share...

I really wish I would've taken out the camera to capture sweet baby Hayes and the beautiful SK playing with cousin Carlo but alas, there's always Christmas. Speaking of Christmas our tree is up and I'm debating wrapping presents tonight...my favorite time of the year!
