Thanksgiving

John and I had the privilege of hosting our first Thanksgiving! It was just so much fun!!! With the help of all the grandparents recipes the turkey turned out awesome!! We just love having a house full of people.  Warms our hearts :)  So much to be Thankful for!! 



















Girl time :)

Jackson got to go to Disney one weekend with Nana and Opa, so I treated Bailey to a fun filled girl weekend :) Grandma joined us at the American girl cafe too! 

 Then I took her to the Cabbage Patch Land.  She had so much fun!

10 Year Anniversary!!!



Its just crazy to me that 10 years has gone by since we were married.  It's funny to think I can't remember life without him or life without the kids.  We were really blessed to find each other.  We definitely round each other out.  I am thankful for our amazing life we lead and all the love we have...from each other, the kids, and our families.  We are beyond blessed. I really can't even begin to go on about him...he is just my rock, my soul mate, and the love of my life.   

We decided a few months ago we would do a cruise.  We had been told that you really want to do a cruise with at least one more couple...so we asked Johns brother Dan and sister-in-law Amy (also my BFF since 4th grade) to come with us. We were very skeptical..we even had some buyers remorse about going on a cruise b/c neither of us had ever been, BUT man oh man...it was simply amazing!!!!! We had the BEST time ever. 

We are especially thankful to all the Grandparents who chipped in and watched the kids for us...for 7 long days!! We have never left them that long and were nervous about it to say the least, but they did great and had so much fun. A million thank yous!!!!!!!
 If you wanted to eat in the dining room then you had to dress a little fancier (and by fancy...I mean a shirt with a collar and not jeans with holes in them...lol).  I didn't mind and John was a trooper about it :)  Mainly b/c the food was AMAZING!!!!

 Our ship was just amazing and so were our rooms.  We went all out and are so glad we did!


 They had some great shows and a hysterical comedian too :)


 The places we went to were off the chain amazing.  We went to Princess Cays (Bahamas), Grand Turk, St. Maarten, & St. Thomas.

 I have never seen water like this...it was just so beautiful!!

 At dinner one night...again, best food I have ever had...ugh want to go back!!!









 We got to watch movies under the stars at night.  It was so cool!!
 This is a horrible picture of us b/c we both look like we are still asleep...but it shows the view.  I mean every day...all day long...you had a view.  Every meal was so beautiful!!
