Mine was so much fun! We had a blast in Reno! We had a lovely spread! Turkey, stuffing, corn pudding (sounds weird, but OOOOMMMMGGGGG it was yummy), cranberry salad, homemade rolls, green bean casserole (my fav), cheesecake, pecan pie, and mississippi mud pie!! im so thankful for my family! Especially my daughter and husband! i dont know what i would do without them! Kyleigh has brought my life so much joy! I dont know how i lived without her before! so i have a list of shout outs i would like to give....

Kyleigh- Your life has made mine better, your smiles make my day, even whn your screaming at the top of your lungs because i wouldnt let you chew on the surge protector, i cant help but smile thinking of how much i love you. you are my reason for living. I love you with all my heart.
Darryl and Naomi - I feel like I have gotten so close to you in the past few months! I love having family so close! It's wonderful to have grandparents so close to Kyleigh as well! I look forward to more time together with both of you! Love you two so much!

Liz (and munchkins)- I loved when we both lived in newton! We got along so well! I miss having you so close! Your so much fun to be around! And I love your kiddos so much! Being around Nathan and Matthew really was a lot of the reason I wanted to start my own family...seeing how happy you and Devin are, gives me hope that i can handle more than one kid! Love you girl!
Ruth (and munchkins)- I never really had time to get to know you that well until this past trip to Texas...and you are SOOOOO much fun! We have a lot of similar interests!

You made me who I am today, and i could never thank you enough. You loved me through all of my trials...you weren't always there but you always loved me. and thats all i ever needed. I love you.

Ashley - You are such a sweetie! Isn't it so wonderful to have so many people that not only you care about...but completely care about you?!? I always find there are more then I realized when I make that "list" as you did.
But really...I think it is all of us who are completely thankful for YOU! Such a sweet spirit to be around. Is it really any wonder that you can light up a room simply by walking into it?
I am excited and grateful to be a part of your life...to watch your amazing family grow and see how you all develop. Thanks for a great ride! Lots of LOVE!
Ashley...Love the pictures as always. You know I am not good at leaving comments but I do love to see how everyone is doing. This last year has been full of life experiences for all of us...Especially the ones full of love and respect that we have given to each other. I am so grateful to have you for a daughter in law. This last year has been trying to say the least with all that has happened including the recent death of my father. Words alone can not convey my love and gratitude for you and Nathaniel for all the support you have given to us...Just being there always loving and understanding and thankful has been such a blessing to Dad and I. So glad we were there for Nathaniel's graduation and for you guys being there for my dads funeral...it meant so much to me. Having the opportunity to spend time with Kyleigh for a week this last month was such a blessing too.
Thanksgiving was great...lots of food and having family and friends over is always nice.
Dad and I love you all so much...We are so proud not only of Nathaniel but of you! You are a wonderful mother. Pray for you always and hope the best.
So looking forward to seeing you at Christmas!!
Love you lots and lots and bunches of lots...Mom
