Give Thanks

We have so many things to give thanks for this year, mostly our healthy new baby girl and lots of family to spend the holidays with. This past weekend was such a wonderful time with everyone that traveled near and far. The house was full and happy. I loved every second of it.
Here's our Thanksgiving 2010
