We had such a beautiful day yesterday spending time with Jim's side and my side of the family! We first went to Jim's parents house and had lunch with his parents and grandparents and the food was delicious and hit the spot! We let ourselves eat normal just this one day since it was Thanksgiving and all! So now the rest of the weekend we have to work extra hard because of taking yesterday off, but we don't mind because it was worth it to us! I must say on our way out to my parent's I did have a moment where I thought about how it would have been to have little 5 week old Annabelle in the backseat with Isaac and I sang a few songs remembering her and shed a few tears, but it felt good in a weird way just to have that moment to remember her by while we celebrated this day of thanksgiving and to thank God for her, even though it was short, it was precious!
We then went to my parent's house and some of my mom's siblings and their children came over too and we had a great time. Isaac loved playing with all his cousins. It was so fun to remember back to last year, which was Isaac's first Thanksgiving and remember how little he was, how he fell asleep in my arms after his bottle and the cute little "First thanksgiving day" shirt he had on. This year he was running around everywhere, coming up and saying mama and giving me hugs and kisses and doing so much. It's amazing the change in one year! Anyways, we got some pictures of our little family because we realized all our pictures of us together were when Jim and I were both 80 lbs heavier so it was nice to get some newer ones of us! So we had different family members take some and I took pictures too throughout the day so here they are...
