A thankful Thanksgiving

My first Thanksgiving! I can't believe how much food there is!
We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! Scott and I are so thankful for our healthy, happy, little boy. We are so lucky to have such a good baby. He is really mellow (when he has had enough sleep) and is smiling and laughing more and more with each day.

I am thankful that I am able to stay home with Kekoa. I just love being a mom and cherish all the little moments with my son.

Scott and I are both very thankful that he found a great nursing job in the Bay Area. We are so lucky that we didn't have to move. Most of his classmates have had to move out of state or out of the area in order to find work. We love where we live and are so fortunate to have such wonderful next door neighbors that have become our good friends. We are also fortunate that we have family so close by.

Kekoa's first Thanksgiving at Papa Beezy's was really fun. I was even able to eat with everyone, while he played on the bed. We all stuffed our faces early in the day, at 2:00, which allowed us to eat all day long. Everyone was so full that we didn't even eat dessert!!

Kekoa's cousin, Meilani, LOVES him and is such a good helper. Kekoa loves watching Jordan and Kaiwei play. He can't wait to join them. Kaiwei was even trying to say his name!
