Festival of Trees and Thanksgiving Thankfuls

It seems like I just barely did the 2009 Festival of Trees post.  I was looking back at those pictures from last year and realized how very much our lives have changed.  Ashley (the girl that was at the festival of trees with s last year) was also pregnant at the time, however neither of us knew that quite yet.  In one year we have made this adorable baby and have grown so much together as a couple (kinda cheezy I know but...).  Here are some pictures from the Festival of Trees.  Addison was a really tired and was in a daze and did not appreciate all the pretty lights and sparkly things as much as I thought she would.




This started out as a more Christmas post but here is my Thanksgiving thankful list:
1. Addison: she has been one of the most life changing, amazing, grumpy, difficult, adorable thing that has happened to me and Will.  I can't really imagine how a night would go if we did not have a baby to feed, bathe and put in bed by 8.
2. Will: I could not do anything without his help and support.  He never doubts me in all my crazy ideas and is always there to help me clean up the mess I inevitably will make with my "craftyness".
3. My mommy: She is the official baby, food, work and general life question hotline.  I am pretty sure I call her way too often and ask her really dumb questions such as "where is the cream of tartar located in Wal-Mart".
4. Daddy: Another individual that gets to deal with my needy phone calls.  Don't know where I would be without his help.
5. Friends: I am not really a best friend type person but I managed to make some great friends during dental hygiene school and I love just knowing they will be there to chat whenever I want.
6. Church: Its a nice break from my week and I love how calm I feel when I am there. 
7. Google: Kinda lame but I seriously could not live my life without the internet.  How in the world did people ever write research papers without it.
8. Washing machines: Addi produces baskets and baskets of laundry and I would be super depressed if I had to go down to the river and scrub her clothes on a rock.
7. Sleep: for about a month now my dearest baby has been sleeping at least 11 hours at night.  It is 100% spectacular.  We get her to bed between 7 and 8 which leaves so much time for home work, cleaning, reading, watching movies and just hanging out.  Everyone in our house is much more pleasant when we get our required amount of sleep.
8. Pictures: I love that one picture is able to bring back so many feelings and memories.
9. Books: I have just started having time to read books again and it makes me happy.  I can get so lost in my books and read for hours.
I am thankful for much more random things but that list could go on forever.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
