So Thankful

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Ours was peaceful and quiet! It was just my little family and my parents. The siblings were all at their in-laws. I try to be grateful everyday, but I love this holiday because it reminds be of all I have to be thankful for. I am so thankful for all of my many blessings. Most of all I am so thankful for my little family. Without them I would not get to experience the kind of joy that words cannot describe.





My two little pumpkins (thanks to Nanna for the darling pumpkin hats!)

My biggest blessing.

I just couldn't resist!

"Mommy, Iv'e grown up!"

Big news!!! It all started the other day when I was enjoying a piece of cake and Alexis asked if she could have a bite. I started to give my rehearsed answer "sorry sweetheart you are allergic to this, but maybe you can have cake when you grow up." But then I thought "what the hey" I'm in a controlled environment, I know where the Benadryl is and gave her a tiny bight. Nothing happened! Then I gave her an even bigger bight. Nothing happened! Then she proceeded to devour a whole piece and NOTHING HAPPENED! Not a hive in sight!!! Alexis was on cloud nine. It was like seeing a one year old eat their first birthday cake, of which I never got to see her do:(

So today we went to lunch with my friend Jamie and her twins and Alexis got to eat her very first donut! She pressed her cute little nose to the display case at Tasty's and with the biggest smile on her face picked the white cake donut with sprinkles. I was a proud mama! After eating her donut I asked Alexis if she had a tummy ache or felt itchy, and her comment to me was . . . . "no mommy, I've grown up!"

An early Christmas present for you all!

Hope you enjoy!
