I'm grateful for...

Food!

Who was I kidding when I thought I was going to post something everyday, but it doesn't really matter because I think 2 maybe 3 people really care to check my blog anyways, so maybe I should give up the blog thing and move onto FB only. Anyone protest? Anyways....

Happy Thanksgiving!

I really love Thanksgiving mostly because of the food. This year we're keeping it low-key, just Mason, Miya, Emi and myself. I slaved away in the kitchen all morning and afternoon just so I can eat all the Thanksgiving food my mom and grandma use to make every year. I did switch things up a bit and tried to make things a little healthier. Here was my menu:

Roast Turkey with Chestnut and Sage Stuffing

Brussel Sprouts with Chestnuts and Sage

Mashed Potatoes

Gravy

Yam Casserole

Cranberry Sauce

Orange Rolls

Pumpkin Pie

Next Year I don't think I'll do anything with Chestnuts those suckers are hard to peel. Everything turned out yummo!

I'm grateful for...

All my family!

I know I already said family, but I never mentioned all my other family members. Mason and I've both been so blessed with amazing families. I love how different they are, yet similar in many ways. Everyone is so loving, supportive, and everyone in my family is pretty funny. I love you Family! There are so many pictures to choose from , but here are few that I love (I hope I don't leave anyone out:

I'm grateful for...

Friends!

Sorry this post doesn't have any pictures, mostly because I don't want to accidentally leave someone out. I am grateful for all the friends I've made in my life that uplifted me and made me want to be a better person. I'm grateful for the support I've received from friends and all the girl's night outings. Thank you to all my friends! I love you all!

This is one of my favorite books as a kid. Friends have always played a big part in my life.

MY FAMILY!

With Thanksgiving coming up I'd like to try and post everyday something I am really grateful for. There are so many things I'm grateful for, but my own family is definitely one of the top things I am most grateful.

I love my silly girls in this photo. They are always trying to make me laugh.

Emi is so silly with her purses and backpacks. She has to have one or the other when ever we go out. I love that she loves to snuggle all the time too.

Miya is the sweetest girl. She is always trying to make our family happy whether it be hugs or picking things up around the house.

Mason is an amazing father and husband. I'm grateful how he teaches our girls with love and patience. I love his spontaneity, like when he makes me breakfast in bed for no reason and his persistence on keeping me happy.

I love my family!

Things we've been up to

The other night I was so tired and didn't feel up to making dinner or cleaning up the house, so my sweet daughters decided to help out.

Emi did the dishes...she actually loves doing the dishes and does a pretty great job.

Miya made dinner. Miya has learned how to make a few things thanks to her cooking class in Kindergarten. Miya made grilled cheese sandwiches and salad.

We went to our ward Halloween Party on Friday and met up with some of our favorite little friends. They're all growing up so much!

100 points to who can guess who Mason and I are.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Last night a whole bunch of us girls got dressed up 80's style and went to the "Tainted Love" concert in S.F. to celebrate our hot friend Kelly's birthday. Happy Birthday Kelly!

Kelly teasing her hair after dinner. What great volume!

Girls just wanna have fun! Dancing to the club.

Here's the whole crew! I love all the outfits!

Karen's outfit was so RAD! The fact that she can have her baby any day now, but still decided to come rock it with the girls made my night!

This one's for you Mark...Kelly lookin' like an uptown girl.
