**Wride Family**: Thanksgiving!

Man i love the holidays!! I love all the family time, the wonderful music, the shopping, the long lines, the yummy food and all the love that is shown all around! This is by far my favorite time of year! I get so giddy and excited for this time of year!! Nothing is better than waking up to a handsome husband, smiley baby and looking outside to a blanket of snow!!! Man i feel like i could just fly! Thanksgiving is such a good time to look back and think of everything i am grateful for! This year we got to go to Reno for Thanksgiving! This year of all years i was super excited! My parents had not seen Blake since he was 1 month old! I have to say being away from my family when i have a baby is really really hard! But they just ate him right up! Every morning my dad came into our bedroom the second he heard Blake was awake and said, " Hey is Blake awake yet?" Or if Blake was awake my dad came in with big smiles and all sorts of ready to play with him! I loved it!!! My mom made sure to give him lots of cuddles every night! She always wanted to be near him to! She even changed every diaper she could! WAHOO!!! That was a nice break! Blake was so good all week! He seriously barley even cried! He was on his best behavior! Blake loves loves loves his SheShe and Crampa! There was even a time when he didnt even want me because he was with his Crampa!!! I was nervous that he would be a little hesitant because he doesnt know them but he just fell in love!!

I wanted to make sure that i wrote down some of the things i am grateful for because i feel like i have been so blessed this past year!!!

* I am so thankful for an amazing husband that has really shown me what it is like to be loved
* I have the cutest most adorable little baby that has brought the sweetest spirit into my home
