Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday and this year was no exception. We have so much to be thankful for!! We go around the table and say what it is that we're thankful for each year and the majority answer for this year was family. Especially the fact that our family is growing! We feel so incredibly blessed to have Daxton on the way. Also, so blessed to have such wonderful family to spend holidays with.

I'm also thankful for a wonderful husband who does an amazing job at taking care of our family. He provides for us in many ways, and there is no way to possibly thank him enough. I hope he knows how much I appreciate all that he does! God really blessed me with Adam!!

I'm thankful for Karsten too! He is such a sweet boy who I know will be an excellent big brother to my sweet little Daxton. He is so incredibly smart and sensitive. He also likes to drive me crazy...but what kid doesn't enjoy doing that to their parents every now and then? I don't know what I would do without him.

I want to say that I am thankful for my husband's parents and sister as well. They do so much for us and there is no way to repay them! I'm especially thankful for their help with making a wonderful Thanksgiving meal!! I couldn't have done it without you!!

This Thanksgiving was a little bittersweet for me. This was the first one without my Gran. I missed her so much, but I know she was watching over me. I keep thinking about last Thanksgiving when she came over and how much fun she had. She hadn't been to a Sellars Thanksgiving before and she was in for a treat! I'm so incredibly thankful that I was able to share that holiday with her and always have that memory.

Here are a few pictures from our day!! We always have fun!

Such a good helper!
 What a beautiful bird!!

 Such a cute picture of mother and daughter!
 Oh the love they have for one another!

 Finally enjoying the meal!

A little update about Daxton. His due date is tomorrow, and I'm not convinced he's going to come by then!! When I found out I was pregnant there were 4 other girls who were all due around the same time as me. Most before, but one had the exact same due date! Well...the last one is about to have her little girl and my sweet son is still hanging out (or I guess in!!!)! He has decided he wants to be the very last one born. Adam says that it's good that he's last b/c he will get more attention. I like the way he thinks!! Of course, anyone who knows Adam very well knows that Daxton is taking after him. When Adam says he will be somewhere at a certain time, expect him to be late! Except when it comes to work...he's pretty much always on time for that. However, he's almost always late to everything else!

We have scheduled a date to be induced, HOWEVER, we are going to have to change it!! It was set for Wednesday, but Adam has some important people coming into his work on Thursday morning and we decided it would be best if we waited until at least Thursday afternoon, Friday at the latest. I'm going to talk to the doctor tomorrow and hopefully get it rescheduled!! I'm still crossing my fingers that I go into labor tonight and he is here by his due date!! :) Not likely, but you never know! I have tried to walk a lot to get him to come out, which seems to help a bit, but not enough. I go to the doctor tomorrow morning and I will know more after that. Keep praying for us!
