A Reason To GIve Thanks!!

Thanksgiving/ Brody's Actual Birthday

This year Brody's Birthday fell on Thanksgiving.  It was great to be able to spend his birthday with so many family members.  This year we went to Peggy's house and celebrated with the Dickersons, Rosemeyers, and the Grohs.  Peggy and Mimi cooked a fantastic Thanksgiving feast for us and I made Brody his first birthday cake.  

I stressed over and worked on his cake for hours the night before.  I got my cake decorating idea from Pinterest and I was determined that it would not be a Pinterest fail.  Looking back on the whole fiasco I really acted quite silly.  I wanted that cake to be so perfect and cute and really what for.  Brody didn't care how it looked he just wanted to eat it.  I think we so often get caught up in how things look and stress over what others will think that we loose sight of the purpose of our efforts.  I hope in the future that I can put things in perspective and recognize when I am loosing focus on what is really is important.  

Anyway....... that being said our Thanksgiving gathering was a perfect way to celebrate his first Birthday.
