Happy Thanksgiving!

Cade and I had a great Thanksgiving weekend! We have so much to be grateful for during this time. This year was our turn to go down to Arizona and spend Thanksgiving with Cade's family. However, with Emma in the hospital, that wasn't possible. So Grandma and Grandpa Close came here to spend it with us and see Emma! It was so fun to have them here and they were so happy to be able to see and hold their first grandchild. We spent a lot of time at the hospital!

Doesn't grandma look so great! Emma had fun being held by her. We finally got her to wake up enough to show grandma her beautiful eyes and fun expressions.


This is Emma's new bed (well, she's been in it for about a week). She is over 4 and 1/2 pounds and is able to keep her own body temperature just fine! We are so happy she is growing so great now!


We did have fun doing other activities besides going to the hospital. We went to A Christmas Carol in 3D and had a blast. Don't we look so stylish?



Things I am especially grateful for this season:
1. Family and friends and their support and love
2. The power of prayer
3. The peace and comfort I get from priesthood blessings
4. Life itself...it is so precious

That is so great that they were able to come up and spend Thanksgiving with you and see Emma. I can't believe she is almost up to 5 pounds already! That is so exciting!
