Thanksgiving

it was a wonderful week filled with SO much food, SO much laugher + SO much garbage.

seriously though--with 28 people in the house at one time...i've never seen us fill so many bags ;) 

but really, you know it's a part when you have to fill the neighbors trash cans to the brim...secretly of course.

i really didn't take a lot of pictures of thanksgiving.

i found myself laughing way too much + realizing ah! 

i should've gotten that!

but looking back now, i think i got what was most important + didn't get lost behind my lens,

which in turn causes me to really miss out on the real moment.

so i hope your thanksgiving was wonderful.

i loved having basically everyone together, minus chris,

for such a good holiday....

it's even making being sick at 6 months pregnant almost worth it.

one of my very favorite traditions we have started at thanksgiving is the white elephant exchange + loaded questions.

honestly i can't remember laughing that hard for a looooong time + i got the braxton hicks to prove it.

the gifts were so on point + i personally thought mine was hilarious...

i got live goldfish!

how are those doing julia?!

i love seeing what everyone comes up with

+ who get's what.

+ last but not least is the gingerbread man/woman decorating.

jennifer is such a good grandma + i love how involved she is with them.

there were more spilled sprinkles then should be allowed,

but i know the kids loved putting as much sugar as they possibly could on a little cookie.

let's be honest, 

i'd be doing the same.

such a good break from like, those five days.

so grateful for family, 

especially mine + how loving + awesome the hancock gang is...sickness + all.

ps. here we all are...minus chris!

aren't we awesome?

so good looking.

sweet brodey got baptized saturday + it was so awesome all being there for it.
