Things I'm Thankful For

So I'm a little bit behind but we did have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend last week and I wanted to post a few of the things that I am most thankful for and share some pictures of the good times. I love the holidays:)
Number one thing I am thankful for is my boys! I am so thankful for Shaye and how patient he is with me. I have been pretty stressed lately with working and trying to keep up with things at home. I like to be able to do everything and the truth is I just can't get it all done and he has been so good to help out and still love me even when I'm crazy:)
Of course we are both so thankful for our sweet little Peyton. He really is the biggest joy in our lives. We love every little thing he does. Like last night I was giving Peyt a bath and yelled for Shaye to come look because he was holding a toy:) Granted I placed the toy in his hand but he was holding on to it and it just made me smile. Silly I know but it's the simplest things that just make my heart so happy:)
I am very thankful for how well Peyton has been sleeping it is really nice to get those consecutive hours of sleep... right now I can't think of anything better:) Isn't he so sweet, GG is so good at rocking him to sleep.
I'm grateful that Shaye is able to watch Peyton most of the time when I'm at work and I love that they have so much fun while I'm gone. Shaye's favorite thing to do with Peyton is build him a throne. Here he is on one of his many thrones, he knows he's king at our house!
We are so thankful for Aunt Jen! She has been the biggest help to us and we just can't thank her enough for all her help this past month! Here's Shaye with his siblings at the kids table for the feast. Looks like Shaye can't keep his eyes off of his food, you can look at the camera man no ones going to take your potatoes:)

I love the holidays because we always get to see lots of family and there is nothing I love more than spending time with family!! Doesn't Peyton look so little here with Uncle Brant?! I guess that would be Great Uncle Brant! Plus you gotta love their leopard blanket. They enjoyed watching some football together, Brant kept Peyton entertained by how excited he'd get over the game.
Love this picture of my parents, Peyt and Nate. Mom you look so pretty, and of course Nate is making a silly face:)
And last but not least I'm thankful for birthday gifts:) Yep I turned the big 27 last week. Seems pretty weird getting closer to 30, I still feel so young. I guess it's ok people that don't know me think I'm like 20. Someday it will be nice to look 10 years younger, like when I'm 40, hopefully it will work out that way:)
Wow I have many things to be thankful for, it's good to remember them. I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful holiday season!

Love that little man too! I'm so glad you posted, because our camera broke I don't have too many pictures and it just wouldn't be right not having a picture of Peyton!
