Thanksgiving Festivities 2011!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! We have so much to be thankful for, and that was not far from our minds as we celebrated with family and great friends! The Tuesday before I got to celebrate with Austin at his preschool!The little pilgrim all ready to feast!This is Austin and his best buddy at school. He talks about him non stop, so it was fun to spend some time watching them interact. Lets just say that I totally understand why these boys get along so well! They are identical in so many ways!!! I seriously sat there laughing feeling like I was watching two of my little Austy Poo! They are so adorable together and have so much fun playing with one another, and unfortunately getting into trouble together! We are getting better at that, so that's good!The Friday before Thanksgiving I was in charge of a Fall Harvest Festival for all the kindergartners at Ryan's school. It was a lot of fun... and work, but so worth it! The kids had a great time! Ryan with his Native American Head Band!We really enjoyed our Thanksgiving Holiday! We enjoyed dinner with the Callaway side of the family, then dessert with the Schmidt side of the family. Unfortunately I'm lame and forgot my camera, so we have no pictures. We did, however, enjoy the day with loved ones celebrating, feasting, and thanking our Father in Heaven for all of the blessings we have been given!
The following day we celebrated Tyler's 1st birthday a few days early!He did great with opening his presents!Ryan and Austin had to get in there and help out too!First birthday tradition... DIGGING IN THE CAKE!!!He really enjoyed it!8 Seconds!!!The next day we had a baby shower for my sister Ashley who was expecting a baby girl!She got the most beautiful and adorable outfits and bows for sweet, little Rachel to wear!SISTERS...AND MOMMA!!!
We enjoyed our Thanksgiving and our time spent with family! We are truly grateful for them! Among the many things we are thankful for, we include our Savior Jesus Christ, the gospel in our lives, the knowledge that our family can and will be together forever, as well as our Father in Heaven! We have so much to be thankful for!
