Happy Thanksgiving


I can't believe that I'm actually posting this picture for all to see, but OH WELL! Hope everyone had a happy turkey day. As most of you know my household has been infested with H1N1. George tested positive last Sunday and since then I've had super bad cold symptoms and as of yesterday so does Liam. We were all immunized and have been sick, but not as sick as we could be. My sweet, sweet Matty had H1N1 last June but now he feels like he is getting sick again...icky. So here is the story behind the picture.
Yesterday started off as any Thanksgiving Day would. Liam and Matt were chopping veggies, I put out the rolls but the entire time we cooked everyone was coughing and sneezing all over the food. It was actually pretty funny! We really had an H1N1 dinner. Here is the kicker....how many of you have a husband that can make Thanksgiving Dinner by himself? I'm proud to say that "i do." Matty made stuffing, yams, a small turkey from scratch...not to mention he creamed the potatoes perfectly (I'm a little picky about my potatoes cuz my mom makes the BEST EVER). Get this, he cleaned everything up too! That alone made my day. He set the table, got out a little sparkling cider and lit some candles. We were all in our PJs and snotting everywhere but it was the tastiest dinner ever and I couldn't be in love with my Matty more than I am right now. He is a perfect husband, amazing father & a caring doc. This will go down as one of our best turkey days ever (and it was Georgie's 1st)! I am so thankful for my family. The germs, temper tantrums, poopy diapers, boogers, sleepless nights, kisses, funny stories, two of the sweetest smiles around, walks to Maverik, family prayer, wrestling and my Best Friend!

p.s. we got a new dog! we love mastiffs and could bare being without one another minute. this is Ari! Our friend, Tina (who found Oddie & Jessie for us through Mastiff Rescue) resently taken Ari back from her previous owner for neglect and now we have a gorgeous baby girl to call our own!
