"When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around" -- Willie

We have so much to be thankful for! The week of Thanksgiving, we got to see some of our precious friends. On Tuesday, Crystal and her kids came to see us while they were in town. It was SO good to see them (and meet her little girl!). We went to ACU together- her husband and my husband were roommates.

The girls playing!

Pretty little Haylee

SWEET kiddos!

Riley with Crystal

Hugs goodbye- Riley didn't want them to go :)

Then Wednesday one of my BFs I grew up with came to say hi! She hadn't seen the girls in months, so they showed off all their new skills. :) LOVED seeing my sweet Jessica!



Our girls have come SO far since last Thanksgiving. I can't stop thanking the Lord for helping my preemies be so healthy and BIG. They are a JOY and I am SO thankful for Reese and Riley!

We had a lot of fun at my mom and dad' house with Leah, Ben, and Casen. It was a house full and it was a blast! There was lots of cousin playing time, tons of eating delicious food, and we did some great shopping too! OH and- Mom, Leah, and I went to see New Moon! (2nd time for Leah and me, 1st for Mom :) )

Always up to noooo good... :)

SO fun!

Hope your Thanksgiving was just as wonderful as ours!
