Happy Thanksgiving!

I feel like I am totally lagging on this blogging thing and taking pictures. I know there are 15 pictures on this one post, but usually I am taking pictures more frequently and not just on holidays.
Joe and Joe checking the pool to make sure every thing looks right

This is what Joe was doing on Thanksgiving...
While the rest of us were doing this...
and this....
but he is a boy after his mama and woke up for this! My mom does such a big Thanksgiving with tons of food and I was glad to finally get to pitch in and make 1 pie. Chelsea was able to pitch in too and make a pie...The rest were made by Sammy's mom and they were phenomenal as always, I love it when I hear she is coming for Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks mom and dad for having us all over!
My fab sista sista. She is so great, she knew how much I liked this sweater she brought from Banana Republic that she "accidentally" left so that I could borrow it for a little bit. Chels, you are the best!
Daddy and Joe after 4 hours of playing flag football. What a wonderful way to start off the day and really get in the spirit of Thanksgiving!
My brother, Dan, in his cool Steelers jersey...Thanks for getting the ball rolling Dan!

The McKeon Family Turkey Bowl 10:00 am and the ward one was at 8:00 am

JK, Joe loves you!

OK, how cute is this picture!? He was in motion running to Chelsea. He looks like a boy on a mission! Joe I just want to eat you!

Eating ice cream and loving a break from his mama!

My friend, Lora, took some wonderful pictures of our family! Thanks so much Lora for being patient!
I had so much fun with my family playing the Wii, eating, seeing Twilight, staying up late, wrestling JK and Ben, and just hanging out. I do have to write about this fashion show I got to be in at the Valencia Country Club, no there are no pictures, and no there will be no pictures. I got to wear some layers clothes, which the new collection is soooo cute! The other outfit I had to wear though, um not so cute. Number 1 the jean jacket was too big so I looked like a football player, number 2 there were these big diamond/rhinestone things for the buttons, number 3 there was a funny bright pink pattern on the sleeves and around the neck. I bet maybe a 40 year old mom would like it, but not a 23 year old mom. I wanted to crawl into a hole...until I saw that there were very few in the crowd and felt better. Fun day with lots of laughs.
I wanted to say a few things I am thankful for: (in no order)
my wonderful husband
our beautiful son
our amazing families that are so supportive
Steve's job
the gospel and the happiness it brings to our lives
our eternal marriage
food
a place to live (I'm loving that right now it is a 5 diamond resort that we don't have to pay a dime for)
clothes
music
chocolate chip cookies
Joe's laugh
good friends
my camera
watermelon
I'm starting to go into all of my random things so I will end this post!
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!

So glad you got to get away for a little R&R. I think every mom needs that every once in a while - makes her a better mom if you ask me!! Also, the family pics are TOO CUTE!!!! Love your hair and yeah, I could pretty much eat Joe right up too! Your blog background is super cute too. I'll give you a call this week, I'd love to catch up and see how Arizona things are coming. Love and miss ya!
