Thanksgiving was wonderful this year! We decided we didn't want to drive anywhere for Thanksgiving since Luke hates car rides and we just wanted to relax and enjoy the day. My family went to visit my dads side of the family so we had the house to our self all day. I decided I wanted to try and make a Turkey from scratch since last year I cheated and got a pre cooked turkey that just had to be re heated. We decided at the last minute that we would be staying home so the night before Thanksgiving Scot and I ran to Walmart to try and find the least frozen turkey we could find and thankfully they had one that was a bit defrosted that we had hoped we could have thawed by the morning and it was! I used a few of the cooking skills I learned from one of my favorite shows called the "Chew". I was so excited it turned out perfect! My family was able to enjoy the left overs and Brooke who has the cooking skills was so proud of me at how good it turned out.
While our turkey was cooking we took Luke to the park to run around a little. He always enjoys a trip to the part! He must have worn himself out because he fell asleep right before the meal was done which we didn't mind because we were able to enjoy our Thanksgiving meal together without flying food!
This year I was extra grateful for my amazing husband and our growing family! I feel so blessed to be married to my best friend, for a son that constantly makes me smile even when being a mom is hard, a healthy baby girl who is on her way, the gospel in my life and the direction and comfort it gives me as I am trying to navigate my life here on this earth, such a supportive and loving family, my parents who have opened their home to us to give us a chance to save money to buy our own home hopefully soon, jobs for both Scott and I and being able to work from home so I don't have to miss out on being a stay at home mom, the chance we have had to make new wonderful friends since we have moved back to Carlsbad and the chance I have had to serve in the Young Women's this year and work with such great youth that are an example to me each week as I listen to their comments and thoughts in my class.
