Happy Thanksgiving!

We went to Reyna's parents house in Palmdale, CA for Thanksgiving. We left Thursday afternoon and on the way, I reached in the back of the car to get something for Jeromy and Paige reached over and started rubbing my back and said "Whatcha doin Mommy?" That's the first time she's asked me a question like that! She's growing up so fast!

Before I share more about Thanksgiving Day I want to give some thanks! I have so much to be thankful for! I won't name them all but I read someone else's blog who listed the top five so I'm going to hop on that train. One...my loving, amazing, full of life, spirited, encouraging, giving, soul mate and best friend Jeromy. He is everything to me. Two...my adorable, cute, funny, smart daughter Paige. I love being her Mom and she brings so much joy to my life every day. Three...my loving, supportive, caring, giving family. My Mom, Dad, Kendyl, Clela, Todd, Matt, Reyna, Zoey, Hayden, all my grandparents are all such important people in my life and I feel so blessed to have them as my family. Four...my friends! I have such amazing friends here in San Diego and my longtime friends in Texas are such amazing people, each for their own reasons and I'm so blessed to have so many great people in my life. Five...God. He has blessed me so much and I am so thankful to have him in my life.

We got to Reyna's and hung out for a while before dinner. Jeromy and Paige went out to play for a while and they were picking flowers and pulling off the pedals one by one saying "he loves me, he loves me not" - how cute is that! Then Reyna's sister Tyra was letting Paige feed the dogs crackers...she had such a blast with that. We came inside because it got chilly and Paige was trying to feed the dogs through the glass door!

I love your "what I am thankful for" sections. I just realized that it was so hectic Thanksgiving that Matt and I didn't even sit at the table with you all. I'm just sitting here waiting for Matt who I am thankful for. :) XOXO, Reyna
