Thanksgiving 2012

It's almost Christmas and I'm just getting around to blogging about Thanksgiving. Proof that I have an 18 month old that keeps me plenty busy. And the fact that blogger told me I couldn't upload any more photos...but now it's letting me? Not sure why, but I'll take it. Trying to figure out Flickr was becoming very time consuming. Thanksgiving was a blast this year. Brooklyn and I turkey trotted with Papa (B didn't do much trotting, but did a lot of sleeping), ate lots of good food (thanks to Lindsey for helping me make the rolls), went to the Nuggets game, and went to the lighting of Downtown Littleton...kinda. We got there at 5, exactly when the banner said Santa would be coming, only to find out Santa wasn't coming until 6:30 and we had to leave to get to the Nuggets game. It was still such a fun atmosphere and we will definitely be going next year. We also did some black friday shopping that involved J. Crew at 11 p.m., and it was worth it.

We have so much to be thankful for in our lives and Thanksgiving is always a great reminder of that. I am especially thankful for my little family and can't imagine a life without them. After hearing of the events in Connecticut my heart is broken and aches for those family. Those were chosen children and teachers that are wrapped in the arms of their Heavenly Father and I'm pretty sure there isn't a safer place to be. This world can be scary and sometimes I just don't understand why things happen, but I am so grateful that families are forever. I am going to hold mine a little tighter. All my thoughts and prayers are with those families.
















Downtown Littleton is one of our most favorite places, especially this time of year.
