On this Thanksgiving I am most thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ and His gospel that blesses me tremendously. And for my two angels in Keagan and Riley that are my whole world!
And I'm also very thankful to be able to spend days like today with my entire family. We started out celebrating Miss Addie's birthday! Can't believe she's 11!
At breakfast we hugged on the wolves, Violet and Sammie. Then watched the clock tower show.
Then a 4-D roller coaster ride for the kids and several hours at the water park for a serious amount of fun!
Once we were all actually showered and cleaned up, we walked around the beautiful Gaylord Texan hotel and took lots of photos just to drive the kids crazy.
While there, we had an amazing Thanksgiving dinner at the Old Hickory Steak House dinner. Tyler arranged a beautiful private room where everyone had a great time playing "guess the family member" games that Vicki had planned. And the food was incredible! Acorn squash bisque, lobster salad, and traditional turkey and fixins or the yummiest ribeye steak I've had in a long time, followed by Pecan pie with butterscotch ice cream! Yum!
And then if we hadn't already packed in a ridiculous amount into one holiday, we celebrated Nana Christmas! Since we are all together Nana passes out the traditional jammies and ornaments! I love this part! This year I helped Nana make a shirt for everyone that was a big hit!
After a rousing White Elephant game we took even more pictures and then fell into bed exhausted!
This morning I asked Keagan what she was thankful for. She said "cousins!" And then she said "I already know yours! It's me and Riley! Duh!" How right she is!! I hope she knows that will be my answer for every Thanksgiving for the rest of forever! And hopefully those turkey days will be as good as this one was!
