Too Cute!

The other morning Russell was on the floor playing with his fish toy and Janey was sitting in the chair reading a book. All of the sudden she says "a hold you". I thought she wanted me to hold Russell but she informed me that she wanted to do that. I picked Russell up and put him next to her on the chair and she instantly put her arm around him and started reading him her book! I think it is one of the cutest things I have ever seen! She is such a good little mommy and Russell even had fun looking at the book with her. She would turn the page and say and then sign everything she knew to Russell. This went on for a good 5 minutes, and I had fun taking pictures and recording every minute of it! :)

As for Thanksgiving we had a fun time staying at home with just our little family. It was nice and relaxing. We ate dinner around 1:00 and then put the kids down for a nap. We even got to take a nap....it was so nice! When we got up we made dessert and then decorated for Christmas. I thought I would be a little sad being away from family but it was kind of nice starting our own traditions. I was very proud of myself for making a full Thanksgiving meal all by myself. (very small scale I might add) I was going to post on Thanksgiving some things I am thankful for, but since I never got around to it I will do it now. These will be in no particular order...just as they come to mind.

1. My family

2. The Gospel

3. This time of year

4. Two wonderful little kids

5. How Kevin makes me smile everyday

6. Holiday comfort foods

7. Clean house

8. Beautiful sunny days

9. nap time/bed time

10. Date night

There is so much more I am thankful for but I will not bore you any longer. I hope everyone is enjoying this time of year as much as I am!
