So much to be thankful for

The holiday season is my favorite time of year. Not only is there Thanksgiving, but also my birthday, and of course my favorite - Christmas. I love this time of year. Hot chocolate, festive store displays, the smell of cinnamon and sugar cookies...

This year I feel so grateful, I look at my life and see just so many wonderful things to be thankful for. It's not perfect, but what life is? I feel in awe of all that God has done in my life. And I honestly feel so unworthy of it. I know I did nothing to deserve this blessed life, and yet He has given me so much. It's quite humbling.

Thanksgiving dinner at my inlaws was delicious and I'm completely stuffed. Gabe had a great time. He got to try mashed potatoes for the first time and loved them. He wasn't at all a fan of the turkey in a jar, but I took one bite myself and threw it out. Pretty disgusting. He also refused the sweet potatoes. He wanted nothing but mashed potatoes and applesauce.

The afternoon went so well, besides one mishap where Nathan backed into Stephanie's mom's car - thankfully it's just a little dent - and Gabe not being able to sleep well because there was just too much noise. He was happy though, loving all the attention everyone showered on him.

Here are pictures, and a video where Gabe had fun crawling to Pepsi:
