Thankful for family

I asked Ryan what she was thankful for this year and she said "Buzz!" Honest answer. Love her!

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. Chris had to work on Thanksgiving Day, so the girls and I went over to Uncles and spent the day and night. Chris came over Friday morning when he got off and Uncle, Dustin and him got to sneak away to Top Golf for a few hours of man time.
On Saturday we went over to Gran's for another delicious meal. Ryan and Eliana had a good time playing together. Sunday, after church, the Ivie clan (minus Beth who had to work) came over for Taco Soup. We are so glad that we got to see so many loved ones and we are thankful for all of you. We are also thankful for the many friends and family that we did not get to see.
Get ready for all the pictures of our many blessings!

I am so very thankful for my Sweet Pea and my Munch,

and the wonderful man that gave me them!

Ryan insisted on wearing her Minnie nightgown on Thanksgiving.

Ryan moved her princess dolls to the doorway so she could see Aunt Rocks

cooking and see the rest of us in the living room while she played.

Aunt Rocks always has time to get on the floor and play!

She was in princess heaven!

She played quietly for hours while we cooked.

Emma slept through our Thanksgiving meal.

After I ate, I decided to catch a quick 30 minute nap on the couch.

Mistake! I woke up with a sharpie mustache and goatee! Thank you, Dustin!

I woke up and walked into the kitchen and Dustin said "Oh Le!"

Tryptophan + Dirty Martini = Sharpie Mustache and lots of laughs!

Ryan discovered Tauri's Barbie doll collection.

She called them "Barb".

Ryan gasped and said "she is the most beautiful doll I have ever seen!"

Here we go!

I think I look kind of scary here, but Chris was sweet enough

to take a picture of Emma and me, so I am posting it!

Emma got a new hat and gloves.

Thanks, Gramma!

She was so excited!
