New Thanksgiving Traditions

This year Thanksgiving brought new experiences that I hope become traditions. It was the first Thanksgiving for Eddie and I as married people. We woke up to Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, Eddie made us some Starbucks Christmas blend coffee, and I baked some pies! It was a new experience for me, and they turned out pretty good! I made a pumpkin and pecan pie from scratch, except for the crust. Maybe one day I'll venture into that territory but for this year I was just aiming to not ruin the pies :)

After the pies were baked (about 2 hours later) we went to my parents house for Thanksgiving dinner.  My Mom worked hard to make a plethora of food and Eddie's family came over with a delicious ham. We ate & ate and after eating some more we played Apple to Apples and Cranium. Hannah could play the first game with us and although Cranium was a little hard for her she did proudly help us with a Madeline question haha. Here's some pictures from the day:

Baby Shower

This afternoon our church showered my beautiful friend Rachel with gifts and love for a new addition to her and her husband's family. I cannot wait to meet this baby, she is going to be so beautiful, a blessing to her family, and so loved. I love you Rachel and I'm so excited for you and Eric! 










One of the women in our church made the cake. This is the top of it, made out of rice crispy treat!  The cake was so beautiful and delicious! Thank you Susie!


My Mom holding baby Zion, thank you Mom for all your help!

Today

I went into Fresh&Easy this morning and a woman there said "must be a special day to wear such pretty shoes". Unfortunately nothing exciting about today, but these WERE the shoes I walked down the aisle with my dad to my love. That was a special day, deserving pretty shoes :)
