Pawley's Island at Sunset Thanksgiving Day
Firsts:
1) My grandparents first visit to see us in Myrtle Beach. It was wonderful to see them!
2) My first attempt at cooking a Thanksgiving meal-- including dressing. Thanks for the recipe Nana!
3) My first time to be without Scott for Thanksgiving since we have been together. (he was on a basketball road trip for several days)
4) Seeing a beautiful sunset over the marsh with my family.
Lasts:
1) The last time I will have just one child at Thanksgiving
2) Maybe the last time I will be 8-9 months preggo on Thanksgiving (Eli- Dec 6th, Caroline, Jan 20th). If we have a 3rd, I am going to shoot for a spring/fall baby :o).
3) Hopefully the last time I have to spend the holiday without my hubby.
4) The last time I wait until the week of Thanksgiving to shop at Walmart.
Below are a few pictures from our holiday. Mom, Dad, Emily, and my grandparents were all here to celebrate with Eli and me. I am very thankful for all of our family. We are very blessed.
