Thanksgiving 2014

Short Post. I'm very excited to report, we have officially done, the First Thanksgiving! :) It was the first for Elan with our Family, for Amber (Amy's new baby girl) and for me doing this at my house. I thought it was going to be more stressful, but thankfully, it turned out extremely well. I loved it! We got the table and chairs from the church, everyone pitched in on the food and my mom walked me through how to successfully stuff a turkey :)

It was nice to have everyone so close. Nathan and Lyndsey couldn't make it with their kids because of Wesley not being able to leave home for very long. We all understood. Vanessa and Josh are still out of state. Kansas currently. But my Grandma Beemus just passed away. The funeral was beautiful, but it really helped me put in perspective how much I love being with my mother and my family. It's so important to love family through life. Don't let petty anger take you over so you forget your blood. I love my family. And I was so thankful to share Thanksgiving with them.
